[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#474734: Bug#474734: nvidia-kernel-source: X server doesn't recognize the correct version

[Sébastien MARQUE]

It says an onther error: "failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module", so I 
created a symbolic link from nvidia/nvidia.ko to 
kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko, but I had no more success, then I tried 
with a hard link and it worked all correct.

thank you it is running fine now here, hope this report will be useful.

I'll be glad to test more if you ask.

regards
seb
