It is very easy to grab the wrong one because the Debian repos have
zero documentation about which driver is for which series of chips, at
least, I couldn't find any. They're all just listed in Synaptic and
identified by meaningless letters and numbers. As I said previously,
one I downloaded the script from NVIDIA I took note that its name
contained '375,' also not very meaningful, but at least I found a
driver in Synaptic with the same numbers. I installed it keeping my
fingers crossed.
