I have an Asus G1 laptop and until now I was running debian amd64 unstable/experimental on it without problems.
Since the nvidia driver 290.xx came out it never detected my laptop internal display.
I think I have made everything I could made to fix the problem but until now I can only use the computer if I connect an external display or kill the gdm3 and use the computer in real console mode.
I know I can use a stable/older driver but the point is; the 290.10 driver is not experimental anymore and should work on my computer.
If any one could help with this it would be very good.
my system:
Asus G1
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce Go 7700] (rev a1)
Debian unstable/experimental
Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP
the error:

the last link is from the beginner section of debian forum. I created another thread because I think it is not for beginners and right now I am in desperation lol
thanks for your time
