Hi,

Can patch users that use Module Assistant?=20
(http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers > Use module-assistant)

My frustrated try:

1) Unpack nvidia-kernel-source tarball:

=2D------------------------------------
benjami at itaca:/usr/src$ sudo tar xvjf nvidia-kernel.tar.bz2

modules/
modules/nvidia-kernel/
modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/
[...]
=2D------------------------------------

2) Patch:

=2D------------------------------------
benjami at itaca:/usr/src$ cd modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/
benjami at itaca:/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv$ sudo patch -p3 -s <=20
~/NVIDIA_kernel-169.12-2286310.diff.txt
=2D------------------------------------

(no response)

3) module-assistant with unpacking:

=2D------------------------------------
$ sudo m-a auto-install nvidia --not-unpack
=2D------------------------------------

4) Stops with this error:

=2D------------------------------------
$ tail -n=20
