Thanks, Dave. I wound up rolling back to 280.13-4, which meant that I had to end up downloading xserver-xorg-core_1.10.4-1 from wheezy. (The current version of xserver-xorg-core ships with xorg-video-abi-11, and 13-4 requires abi-10.)
So I downgraded the following packages: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia_280.13-4 libgl1-nvidia-alternatives_280.13-4 libgl1-nvidia-glx_280.13-4 libglx-nvidia-alternatives_280.13-4 nvidia-alternative_280.13-4 nvidia-glx_280.13-4 nvidia-kernel-dkms_280.13-4 nvidia-vdpau-driver_280.13-4 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia_280.13-4 xserver-xorg-core_1.10.4-1 xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.6.0-2+b1 And everything seems to be working so far...Though I fully expect to find some other bombshells with some Xserver function that I forgot to downgrade. --b On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 11:36 PM, Dave Thayer < debian1125820.dmtha...@recursor.net> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 07:37:58PM -0400, Brad Alexander wrote: > > Has anyone seen any odd behavior out of the nvidia drivers of late?
