Indeed. Forget this if it is beating a dead horse, but did you
have
gcc-4.3 + gcc-4.4 both installed? I did and I set the symlink
gcc to
gcc-4.3 and that got rid of the message.
Thank you Hugo, I managed to compile the proprietary driver.
Now every ctrl+alt+Fn leads to a complete black screen, with no
prompt or cursor or anything.
Ctrl+alt+F7 works as expected.
Could it be that my system stopped creating the consoles at boot
time ?
What should I check and where ?

Thanks Anand,
In single user mode, I can login on the first virtual console but every
other ctrl+alt+Fn I hit only gives me a black screen with a prompt
flashing in the upper left corner ...
Launching a graphic session with startx instead of gdm/kdm doesn't
change anything except that I don't even have any flashing prompt on my
black screen anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.
