It works OOTB on Ubuntu but i dont want to use that crap.

I know what you mean - I suspect that the issue is with Debian + nvidia graphics. Ubuntu/Mint installs extra stuff to deal with it.

It works fine for my Intel & AMD hardware, have you tried the non-proprietary drivers?

I am using drivers from Debian wiki, don't know how to get different drivers on Debian.

You are now using Debian testing, that is a development branch and cannot be expected to work

The Debian wiki page that refers to the NVIDIA blob has many methods listed, please post the exact commands & configuration files that you used.

A stock Debian installation will use the nouveau drivers OOTB, did you try steam before installing the driver blob?

Yeah like switching to a development branch is going to help the troubleshooting process...

I was installing Debian without any DE from netinst, after booting was getting "no signal" on my monitor, so i put this in GRUB

nouveau.modeset=0

After that changed sources.list to testing, made dist-upgrade, installed Xorg, gnome-core...

After that i boot into gnome on low resolution, and installed drivers like that:

# jessie-backports
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free

# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,')

# apt-get update
# apt-get install -t jessie-backports nvidia-driver

Why use jessie-backports when you are on Stretch? The testing drivers are more recent.

It installed the newest drivers anyway

NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 375.26

And how was my system misconfigured?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-01-16 22:18:39

I have no idea, do you wish to troubleshoot the issue further?

Also, no need to full quote when replying directly

pawel2k · 2017-01-16 22:38:58

My system wasn't misconfigured, so please don't change the truth to suit your arguments

As explained on Debian forum, i have to install Steam on Nouveau and run it, only then i am able to use Steam with propietary Nvidia.

Nothing to do with system miscofiguration right
