After installing 1.6.1 I made the manual change in the Dell XPS enable/disable scripts and that seemed to work. However, I have not been able to get the nvidia-current.ko to load. There is a message in there somewhere about nvidia_current not being found, so I think there is a misspelling of hyphen and underline. I tried renaming the .ko file but that did not help.
Then, just now, I tried to reboot, and I could not. So getting to recovery mode and uninstalling bumble made it better again. I'm not sure where to go from here. But at least I can use my machine again.
