It is hard to guarantee anything, but since updates to Intrepid rather bring in 
code from newer kernels and the nvidia driver got updated to work with recent 
kernels, it should be ok (beside of the potential that the new driver has some 
new bugs). I suspect the change they did was to cope with a larger size of 
integer from acpi. This should be ok when the size is reduced again. You could 
install the -14 kernel from my ppa (link must be somewhere in this bug report) 
which has that acpi change reverted. This likely gets into proposed soon, since 
it seems not worth the trouble to have that in Intrepid and breaking for more 
people when it gets into updates.
