Bug#681182: nvidia-settings: version 302.17-2 in testing not fully compatible with 295-59 driver

[Nathan Wallach]

Package: nvidia-settings
Version: 295.49-1
Severity: normal

Version 302.17 of nvidia-settings does not allow setting display modes when
used with driver version 295.59 (current version in testing). The nvidia-
settings program reports that the driver is too old to support this.

Given this issue - users should be made aware before upgrading, or maybe the
302.17 nvidia-settings should depend or suggest the nvidia driver being "new
enough".
