I've been hacking the NVidia drivers for a while, and one thing appears: when
it doesn't work at all, it's
generally your fault(black screen,etc...). A common error is to upgrade
kernel, and forget to recompile
NVidia module, since the module is hardly version related it often bugs.
NVidia OpenGL drivers don't seem be very stable under any X version, but
generally people complaining
about drivers don't have the opportunity to test them, as they can't see any
2D.....

Anyway I think NVidia related stuff don't have anything to do on
linux-kernel.
