Thanks Vincent, I am new to Debian so actually I hadn't installed any
backports because I thought it was difficult and cause instabilities, but
now I realize backports are actually really easy and potentially more
stable than my current situation.

I was using the instructions at "http://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee" for
Wheezy so I was getting bumblebee from "http://suwako.nomanga.net/", and
using the Wheezy versions of Linux kernel and nvidia-current, nvidia-glx,
nvidia-kernel-dkms, freeglut3, libxmu6, nvidia-cuda-toolkit packages, and I
had set glx to "/usr/lib/mesa-diverted".

So now I should uninstall bumblebee, bbswitch-dkms, virtualgl &
virtualgl-libs (and remove it from sources.list), then install them from
wheezy-backports while still using the Wheezy versions of everything else?
Or should I also install the nvidia packages from backports or download
latest from NVIDIA website?

Meanwhile I will file the bug to the kernel guys.

Thanks for the help!
Shervin.
