Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms Version: 270.41.06-1 Severity: normal nvidia-kernel-dkms dropped the Conflicts with binutils-gold some time ago, but it still seems that using gold with nvidia-kernel-dkms does not work.
I tried installing binutils-gold package (2.21.51.20110421-4). The driver builds fine, but then all I get is a black screen. Xorg is completely unresponsive, zapping doesn't work, switching consoles is impossible. The monitor doesn't even switch to the native resolution: it simply turns black. xorg.log is empty. I see there is already a bug (see #617391) reported on binutils-gold, but I feel that nvidia-kernel-dkms should conflict with gold with at least a versioned dependency until someone gets a working module out of it. I'm using a Quadro NVS 290 (G86) -- if that matters, but I got the same problem with other quadro cards. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
