Alberto is the man!
For the testers: I went to the /usr/src/nvidia-173-173.14.39 directory and edited the nv-linux.h file. At around line 213 of that file I pasted the "#include <acpi/acpi_bus.h>" line of the patch below the "#define NV_LINUX_ACPI_EVENTS_SUPPORTED" like described in the patch of the link in #7: #define NV_LINUX_ACPI_EVENTS_SUPPORTED 1 #include <acpi/acpi_bus.h> #endif Then as root a "dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-173" which produced the following output: root@XXX:/usr/src/nvidia-173-173.14.39# dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-173 Removing all DKMS Modules Done. update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Loading new nvidia-173-173.14.39 DKMS files...
