FWIW: Tried to install the test kernels from Leann, and it looks like they are not playing nice with the nvidia drivers (I know, they are not free, but they did work with all officials kernels so far)
If I'm doing anything wrong, please let me know. Here's my session: $ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic_2.6.31-16.51~lp453444_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 372866 files and directories currently installed.)
