8 Thanks Aaron and thanks also to Benny for the advice. Rebuilding
9 the kernel solved the problem and now I can start X with 295.20.

11 But why did this work? Nvidia-drivers builds its own kernel module
12 and just installs it with the other kernel modules. I did not
13 get a new kernel source for this rebuild; I just used the one
14 I already had (3.2.1). What happened during the rebuilding to
15 change the new kernel?
