I'd rather stick with stable. I went and looked at the howtos for a
mixed system, and it didn't seem too difficult. Unfortunately, the
unstable nvidia-glx depends on unstable versions of a lot of important
packages, like libx11, libc6, xserver-xorg-core, (and the unstable
kernel version too? it could have been something else), so I decided I
didn't want to upgrade that much.
I think I will go with the nvidia installer. I'll post back with
results of how that goes.
Thanks
