Hi,
The upstream report finally lead to a solution. It seems that nvidia
module still rely on /proc/acpi/event to catch acpi events. Since
Debian disabled the deprecated option CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT, the file
does not exist anymore.
A simple workaround is then to rebuild the kernel with this option
set...
Cheers,
Denis
