I did install 1.2.2.1-1 from experimental some time ago, based on an
earlier request in the BTS, but that did not fix the problem. Was this
one-liner added after that version?
Installing xserver-xorg-video-nv from unstable seem to pull in more
stuff than I'm willing to install on this machine right now. I hope
others can test it, or I can install Debian on an external hard disk and
try it.
