That's the beauty of compiling my own kernel from linux-source-2.6.xx

stable kernel and video.
Using Sid does mean, though, that occasionally I must go into
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions and mv the xserver-xorg-core
libglx.so out of the way (usually to "libglx.so.software") and then
symlink nvidia's libglx.so.XXX.YY to libglx.so. That, too, is rare,
and only a little bit of manual intervention.
The correct way to move the file out of the way is to use dpkg-divert(8)
_before_ you install the Nvidia driver. Then upgrades of
xserver-xorg-core will not overwrite your symlink.
This is what the nvidia-glx package does, BTW.
The syntax looks bass-ackwards, but the concept is darned useful.
Thanks!
