Package: nvidia-kernel-common
Version: 20050829+1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Kernel sysfs symbols are GPL only as of 2.6.13, thus udev never notices
the nvidia module.
The attached script should be safe on non-udev systems too; if you've
installed this package, you probably want the devices created if they
don't already exist.

I did update-rc.d at 'defaults 19' to be ahead of nvidia-glx, but I
doubt the level matters as long as it's less than ?dm (99).
