Using make-kpkg, the nvidia-graphics-drivers package, linux 2.6
final and the linux 2.6 hacks, I remember needing to do
"dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx" and enabling something called TLS
support (threaded local storage?). Of course I doubt if this
applies in this case. I've not have any problems loading the
kernel part of the nvidia driver.
