Getting logged out when starting a game
Hello.

Every time I try to start a game (Tried StepMania and Diablo 2) I get logged out. Does anyone know why and how to prevent it?

Thankful for any helping comment.

Driver "kbd"

So, it seems like I need to download my graphic driver, huh?

Yes, you need to install the official nvidia driver. I am pretty sure if you search for "debian+nvidia", you will find articles that will help you install the driver.
