Yes, it mostly is a bug of the nvidia driver package, but there is also a m-a
related part, which expects fixing.
Indeed the solution suggested by Marco Mattiolo worked for me.
I installed nvidia-kernel-dkms from sid. This introduced me to the ease of
dkms, which makes m-a much less useful than it used to be.
For this specific install, I also needed to create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
with the following contents:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default screen"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Philosophical observation:
Probably stable should go for the dkms scheme for non-free drivers of this
sort, that would be even better than the pre-compiled package, and remain
more compatible with future testing.
Ciao, thanx,
Nick
