Hi, can you provide a log of what exactly have been upgraded during the
update ? (/var/log/apt/history.log or /var/log/aptitude)
What gives:
dpkg -l |grep nvidia
update-alternatives --display libglx.so
and same for libGL.so ?
What gives:
modinfo nvidia | grep vermagic
Is "nouveau" blacklisted when you try the nvidia driver ? if not you
could try that.
Did the xorg.conf file changed at all, the "Driver "nvidia"" stanza is
still there ?
Just some hints to get you started, I am on wheezy/Sid amd64 with nvidia
driver (GTS250), no problem as of today.
