Update: Good news! There is an update NVIDIA driver in experimental which may fix this issue. See
thread. For how to install look on pages 12+ for current info as the thread is old. Reference thread
.
0. Remove the pin from /etc/apt/preferences if you had pinned to the older xorg. Remove the additional switches added in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you put that in for the last nvidia driver if you did not pin.
1. Enable experimental repo's in /etc/apt/sources.list
2.
3. apt-get update. Pull in the newest xorg.
4. Shift to VT (ctrl+alt+f1).
5. Kill kdm or gdm -
6. rmmod nvidia
7. Start kdm or gdm as above
