That FAQ is a little out of date. Neither I nor anyone
else has had time to do
anything about it. Sorry.
So you're saying it should be a wiki...
What you say is probably possible. Good luck!
Possible, but not without a struggle. Does anyone know how to get
nvidia drivers loaded for the 2.6.9-multimedia-686 kernel? I've tried
3 or 4 methods and haven't gotten it. Says something about VMALLOC
error.
I've made significant progress though. At this rate maybe I can
restart all over again with just DeMuDi and get the video working from
the start...

Have you considered rolling your own kernel ? The config
options for the current kernel should be in /proc/config.gz
so you already have all the settings for 2.6.9-multimedia-686
kernel... but I am not sure of what patches they may apply.
I suspect that if DeMuDi do not provide a compatible nv
driver then you may have no option but to roll a new kernel
and compile the nVidia source specifically for that kernel.

http://alsa.opensrc.org is always hungry for additions.

Try this:

Seems they have a patch, Note I haven't tried it yet

No, it already _is_ a wiki.
Yeah I know.
I've put plenty of time into ignoring what the various developers &
maintainers have to say about best practice and generally it turned out to be
a right PITA. These days I generally recommend that everybody install DeMuDi
from the AGNULA/DeMuDi CD installer. The fact that it is now up to date with
Sarge doesn't make for any easier ways to install the system _and_ optimise
it for music-making. The only reasons AFAICS for not installing DeMuDi are
that you don't want to make music or you don't want Debian.
As the OP was particularly bothered about using DeMuDi with widescreen nVidia,
which I'm guessing would need proprietary drivers (CMIIW) there didn't seem
to be much point going on about it. I figured that they would work this out
at some point. For some strange reason, most Linux users seem to take being
told that something can't be done as a challenge. Don't know why. ;-)
