Bug#661253: Trying 295.33

[Russel Winder]

Thanks to Julian for setting up trying to do a backport to an earlier
NVIDIA driver using Debian packages. I haven't tried that yet but I hope
to do so next week.  In the interim I tried cleaning out all the nvidia
and related packages and installing from the NVIDIA distribution file. I
tried 290.10. It seemed to install correctly. On reboot GDM3 starts
fine. Logging in to GNOME 3 fails, I just get the "Oh no" page. Logging
in with GNOME 2 works fine.  I then put back all the 295.33 package
including the "remove the NVIDIA installer" package. Exactly the same
behaviour. This would seem to imply a problem with GNOME 3. Whether
there is still a problem with spontaneous X terminations I now cannot
tell as I cannot actually use the systems at all now :-((
