    Question Configuring xorg.conf for nvidia drivers

    Hi, I would like to use my GPU to power Pyrit but my Nvidia GPU isn't detected.

    Here is what I've tried:
    Code:
    # apt-get update
    # apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    # apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms
    reboot - the install said Nouveau would conflict but would be corrected by a restart.
    # apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
    # nvidia-xconfig
    reboot
    After the nvidia-xconfig I reboot and then my X doesn't start again.

    I've also installed via the .run from nvidia, but the nvidia drivers wern't used and creating the XOrg.conf causes X to still not boot.

    Can anyone help me install the nvidia drivers on my persistence USB so that I can use my GPU with Pyrit please?

    EDIT: It seems the install isn't the problem. The problem is with the /etc/X11/XOrg.conf. It seems like creating one prevents X from booting.
    I've tried the Nvidia-xconfig and created a new .conf (as http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphic...e_an_xorg.conf says to ) containing:
    Code:
    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Video Card"
        Driver              "nvidia"
    EndSection
    I don't know what else to do to make my Nvidia drivers work.

    UPDATE:
    I am running Kali amd64 v1.0.2 usb persistent with a nvidia optimus card (dedicated nvidia/Integrated intel).
    Tried bumblebee, all versions of nvidia's .debs, nvidia-kernel-dkms, samiux's blog post, nvidia's .run. Also tried running the kernel with the nomodeset option.

    I am still unable to get nvidia drivers working. Still looking for a solution.
