Just tried installing Linux-4.1 from experimental on my desktop Jessie
system to try btrfs.

Unfortunately, the nvidia-kernel-dkms package from Jessie will not compile
against Linux-4.1, and the version from experimental requires the
nvidia-driver from experimental also, which pulls in a dependency that
cannot be satisfied in Jessie+experimental.

So I tried switching to NOUVEAU. This appears to work, but instead of
starting gdm I get a big graphical screen saying "Oh no! Something has gone
wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out
and try again." The X log files show nothing serious wrong:

[    10.342] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
[    10.343] (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument

So I suspect if I want to test btrfs on this system, I really should
upgrade to Debian testing first...
