 ====== Graphics Driver ======
-===== Nvidia =====
+===== Nvidia Troubleshooting =====
+The debian packages do not work well. **Use NVidia Drivers from**:
+http://www.nvidia.de/object/unix-de.html
+Uninstall all other Drivers:
+  apt remove --purge nvidia-*
+**For older cards, you need older drivers!**  304.135 OR Version 340.102 - depending on the series (check lspci)
+If the module cannot be compiled, because of **gcc version mismatches**, install the correct version and set this one as default:
+  update-alternatives --config gcc # complains about missing alternatives. So install them:
+  update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 10
+  update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-6 20
+  update-alternatives --config gcc # should work now
+In case the xserver still doesn't start, make sure nouveau drivers are uninstalled and **blacklist them**:
+  mcedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
+  blacklist nouveau
+  blacklist lbm-nouveau
+  options nouveau modeset=0
+  alias nouveau off
+  alias lbm-nouveau off
