Possible conflict between nvidia graphics drivers and video LKM (Re: Debian-NVIDIA)

[Filipus Klutiero]

Hi Rodrigo,
Good progress, thanks for following up. Unfortunately, I can't comment 
on possible "upstream bugs" as I'm not using or helping with the nvidia 
drivers regularly anymore.  If you have more information but not enough 
to report a bug, I suggest you report to the development mailing list 
pkg-nvidia-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.

Best luck
