-[[https://linuxconfig.org/nvidia-geforce-driver-installation-on-debian-jessie-linux-8-64bit]]+I think NVIDIA drivers have been screwed up just from ''apt-get upgrade'' (8/17 and 11/17).  Perhaps this process can overwrite the xorg configuration that the Nvidia installer injects.
  
 +**Remember to keep turning the amp on** (CBL-SAT/HDMI2) -- as soon as Alan goes dark it'll start turning itself off automatically, making it look like nothing is working.
  
-NVIDIA GeForce Driver Installation on Debian Jessie Linux 8 64bit +Can be installed via apt from non-free (avoid unless the proprietary drivers don't work), but this is version 340 (stretch: 375 (8/17)) whereas NVidia offer version <del>367</del> 384 (8/17).
-The easiest way to install NVIDIA GeForce Driver on Debian Linux 8 ( Jessie ) is to use official contrib and non-free debian repository. First add the following non-free and contrib repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Therefore, first change the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list file to include contrib and non-free packages eg.:+
  
-  deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free +[[http://www.geforce.com/drivers|Latest version]]
-  deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free+
  
-Next, update your repositories:+Install as root after stopping x with ''service gdm stop''.  The installer will offer to rewrite your xorg config; do it.
  
-  # apt-get update+Old version via non-free (not recommended, although it sounds like they are getting to be more up-to-date in stretch):
  
-At this point the nvidia-driver package becomes available for the installation: +[[https://linuxconfig.org/nvidia-geforce-driver-installation-on-debian-jessie-linux-8-64bit]]
- +
-  # apt-get install nvidia-driver +

-During the installation you will see a notification about conflicting version of the free software nouveau nvidia driver with your currently being installed non-free nvidia kernel module which you can simply ignore. +
- +
-  Conflicting nouveau kernel module loaded         +
-                                                                      +
-  The free nouveau kernel module is currently loaded and conflicts with the non-free nvidia kernel module. +
-  The easiest way to fix this is to reboot the machine once the installation has finished. +
- +
-Wait for the installation to finish and once done generate a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg configuration file with nvidia-xconfig command. First, install nvidia-xconfig package: +
- +
-  # apt-get install nvidia-xconfig +
- +
-After the installation is finished execute nvidia-xconfig command to generate new /etc/X11/xorg.conf config file:+
  
-  # nvidia-xconfig +(when stretch comes: [[https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-latest-nvidia-drivers-on-debian-9-stretch-linux]])
-  New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf+
  
-If the above command shows message about the lack of a previous /etc/X11/xorg.conf config file simply disregard it and reboot your system to load a newly installed nvidia driver. After the reboot, login to your desktop and start the official nvidia-settings configuration tool either from command line:+dudley:
