Please note that I'm not trying to install NVidia drivers in a guest OS, but rather the HOST OS. Somehow I got them working with kernel 4.2.8, but since upgrading to kernel 4.4/Proxmox 4.2 I've been unable to duplicate my previous success. I have a full install of Debian Jessie 8 with the Proxmox repos added to /etc/apt/sources.list, and Proxmox and Nvidia were working fine with kernel 4.2. I've tried following these instructions:
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
except that instead of installing linux-headers I installed pve-headers.
# aptitude -r install nvidia-kernel-dkms
doesn't seem to do anything useful. It runs without error, but very quickly without seeming to compile anything.
If I boot with kernel 4.2.8 using the advanced options on the boot menu, I get full video acceleration. (Is it safe to use Proxmox 4.2 with kernel 4.2.8, or is kernel 4.4 mandatory?) For the life of me, I can't remember what I did originally to get the drivers working under kernel 4.2. Can anyone enlighten me?
