Hi.


This does not only affect Quadro cards...

btw: Could you please hurry up to upload the fixed version? Or could you
please reupload the older version?


Best wishes,
Chris.

 After upgrading to the 185.18.31 packages from 185.18.14, X caused a kernel
 panic with a NULL pointer dereference.  This seems to be the same problem
 discussed here:

 Downgrading to the earlier version is suggested as fixing the issue, and does
 for me, but I figure that others might want to know about this beforehand.

Thanks for this warning.  Probably the Debian package should be upgraded
to 185.18.36, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2071410
mentions Fixed a bug that caused kernel panics when starting X on some
mobile GPUs.

I figure that other people can probably live without a couple of hours of
annoyance downgrading. ;)  Thank you for your swift response.

I am quite happy to test an upgraded package, if that helps, and verify it
resolves the issue at least for my

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M (rev a1)
