There seems to be no .config option to get the kernel module built. The up-to-
date Debian nvidia-legacy71xx kernel module will build using m-a just fine.
However, the Debian X.Org driver for this is not installable either (better
than pretending to install and fail like Nvidia's own!).
I assume that the old git code for the Xorg Nouveau driver has the same
problem.
