Ah. Then from there, so I gather that nvidia will not work with these new
packages.

A few days have the 285 version, but it took a few days. Problems of
compatibility perhaps?

And indeed, there is the issue, i am with Unstable/Sid.

So now i have to be so few days until Nvidia take a more decent and
compatible with xserver-video-abi-11 and xserver-video-abi-13. That but i
have to wait at least, two weeks or so to get a decent version and run it
without problems.

Yes, yes. So i said above it in the written message that the problem is
there.

Of course. Reviewed by me from the issue, which is a temporary failure,
and being run ignoreABI is a temporary solution. So I hope that Nvidia
will take a driver to correct this implementation I say, that what is
being said is outdated.

So, i have no choice but to wait.

Thank's.
