[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#543155: nvidia-glx: black screen after upgrade to 185.18.31

[Sven]

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 185.18.31-2
Severity: normal

After upgrading to 185.18.31, I get a black screen and my laptop hangs. This
seems to have been reported against the Ubuntu package already, see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/417373

According to this bug report the 185.18.31 driver release is known to be
broken for some mobile GPUs and should be replaced by the 185.18.36 driver.

This is a Thinkpad T61 with the Quadro NVS 140M graphics card.
