Bug#827391: nvidia-driver: Add support to Nvidia GeForce 10xx GPUs w/ driver 367.27

[hikaru.debian at web.de]

It turned out, I had extra characters in my debian/rules file, most likely due
to a mistake while copying the patch from the wiki. This crippled my tar
command, but didn't make it completely useless.
So much for "following instructions". ;-)
Thanks for your patience!

In the end I manually installed these packages:

libegl1-nvidia_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libegl-nvidia0_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libgl1-nvidia-glx_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libgles1-glvnd-nvidia_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libgles2-glvnd-nvidia_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libglvnd-nvidia_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libglx0-nvidia_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libglx-nvidia0_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libnvidia-eglcore_367.27-1_amd64.deb
libnvidia-ml1_367.27-1_amd64.deb
nvidia-alternative_367.27-1_amd64.deb
nvidia-driver_367.27-1_amd64.deb
nvidia-driver-bin_367.27-1_amd64.deb
nvidia-kernel-dkms_367.27-1_amd64.deb
nvidia-kernel-support_367.27-1_amd64.deb
nvidia-vdpau-driver_367.27-1_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia_367.27-1_amd64.deb


I also needed these packages from jessie-backports:

glx-alternative-nvidia
libvdpau1
nvidia-kernel-common
nvidia-modprobe


It wasn't necessary, but I thought it wouldn't hurt, to install
nvidia-installer-cleanup from the backports too.

Now I have this list of packages installed:

I'm wondering about two things:

1. I still have libgles1-nvidia and libgles2-nvidia from 340 on my system,
while there are only libgles1-glvnd-nvidia and libgles2-glvnd-nvidia for 367.
Are the latter two packages equivalent to the former ones or should I have
packages without "glvnd" for 367?

2. Is the old nvidia-settings package (or its removal) a problem?
I see, there is no 367 svn package. [1]


I also found a GT520 card to test with, so I have something that's actually
supported by the driver. As far as I can tell, it works fine. The desktop comes
up and I can play videos using OpenGL via the card.
