Bug#731654: Manually adding link to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers works.

I now have X working again.

But only by manually linking

ln /usr/lib/nvidia/legacy-304xx/nvidia_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

so the missing entry in the ...modules/drivers/ seems to have been the
last problem.

Of course my hack should really use /etc/alternatives  so it is only
a temporary fix. But why was the entry missing?

Maybe I need to dpkg-reconfigure which ever package contains
nvidia_drv.so.

But obviously something has gone wrong with the ordinary apt-get/
aptitude upgrade process. As I said, others have had the same
problem. Now I have X back, I will see whether I can look at
those other reports and maybe point back to this bug report if
appropriate. But I may not have time tonight.
