Maybe it depends on the driver version? I have 340.76-1.siduction.1 0- which isn't in any repo anymore (was from fixes). Will be removed here too...

Instead it is now "legacy"?  http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=5447

This is the message I saw while upgrading my nvidia driver, which broke my graphics:

  Use the nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver, nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-dkms
  packages instead.

So if you have one of the above mentioned  gracas you need to switch to the legacy driver.

See:

http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=5447.msg44465#msg44465

and

Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

Thanks, it's appreciated.

....- so did i yesterday.

You wanted to say: "But I did"

I'am mentioning this, because you wrote the opposite of want you intended to say. So did I = Ich auch.

Und wenn ich nicht den legacy Treiber verwenden will sondern von 340 auf eine höhere Version upgraden möchte? Was muss ich dann machen? In unstable ist ja nur der 340er.

apt-get install -t experimental? Da ist der 343drin...
