Thanks for the patches! They were definitely useful. :)

Have you considered joining the pkg-nvidia team on Alioth [1]? I don't
have admin privileges to approve you myself unfortunately, but you can
probably give Russ/Andreas a ping. You may find it more convenient to
work directly with the team's svn repo, rather than submitting patches
via the list.

Regards,
Vincent
