Re: Issues with nvidia 302.17

[Francesco Pietra <chiendarret@gmail.com>]

Thanks, I am examining the archive, although, so far, it is not clear
to me what to do with the nvidia installed version 302.17-3, and how
DKMS will behave if I intall previous nvidia packages.

At any event, I forgot to indicate that: xserver and nvidia are the
same version:
