Kernel Updates Breaking nvidia Drivers?

[Jerome Gotangco]

Should be fixed later. Infinity is working on it. If you notice, the
linux-restricted-modules-386 for 2.6.12-9 is still now available. Nothing
breaks when using the nv driver though (but have been using nvidia-glx for
quite some time already).
