Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 280.13.really.275.28-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

I installed nvidia-kernel-dkms on sid. I have a geforce 9800m gt.
I launch nvidia-xconfig and after rebooting I see the nvidia logo then the
gnome login but the the whole system freezes.
I tried the version from experimental but the problem persist.
I then tried a fresh sqeeze installation and installi the corresponding nvidia
packages and hte problem was solved.
