For the record, the dkms 185.18.14-1 driver, just released, works fine
on the wife's laptop.
Thanks John, it is good to know we need to look deeper at the
differences of both packages.
In case anybody is curious, elrepo recently updated their kmod-nvidia*
packages and they work on my wife's laptop.
This might explain it:
head -n 20 /usr/share/doc/nvidia-x11-drv-185.18.36/NVIDIA_Changelog
* Fixed a bug that caused kernel panics when starting X on some
mobile GPUs.
* Fixed an interaction problem between VDPAU and PowerMizer when using
VDPAU solely as a display mechanism, and not to decode video streams.
The GPU performance level should now be raised, if required, in this
scenario.
* Fixed VDPAU to avoid "display preemption" in some cases where a
VdpOutputSurface is deleted while it is still active (either queued or
visible) in a VdpPresentationQueue. In particular, this can occur in
MPlayer when using the "-fs" option, and could completely prevent
VDPAU from operating successfully, depending on the exact timing
conditions.
2009-07-31 version 185.18.31
* Fixed a crash on certain mobile GPUs.
2009-07-28 version 185.18.29
