I see there is already a reply about the UseFBDev option. You will also
notice that the driver is nv. This is the "open source" version of the
nvidia driver - not the closed one from nvidia which is called "nvidia". I
noticed that this had changed when I did an upgrade.
If you use the nvidia sourced driver the UseFBDev option works. (There are
some debian packages (nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src) that will
download the latest driver from nvidia's web site and make some debs from
them which you can then install.
