Right, the problem that had is because the version of
nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx which works properly with the squeeze
Xorg server still hasn't migrated to squeeze.  The upgrade should work
fine with the version in unstable.

Reassigning this bug and updating the version information accordingly,
since this bug is fixed in unstable.  We're just waiting on ia32-libs for
the NVIDIA packages to all migrate to squeeze.
