The nvidia-graphics-drivers package has been updated to correctly document that it's not compatible with the new X server. Thanks to Alberto for the update! So this addresses the biggest problem, which is that users who are using the nvidia driver would get upgraded to a broken desktop (because the loaded kernel driver wouldn't work with the new X). Instead, the nvidia driver package is now uninstallable in quantal until a version becomes available that's compatible with the current X server. This should help some quantal users being accidentally upgraded to a broken combination of packages. Users who want to stay current with quantal in the meantime should remove the nvidia driver package from their system and use the nouveau driver instead. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
