Hi, Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the nvidia-support source package.
This review will last from Thursday, August 30, 2012 to Friday, September 7, 2012. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, a summary will be sent to the review bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

Make template translatable by prepending "_" (the actual reason while I've spotted this package). Other members of the list may have other remarks and improvements to propose, thus this formal call for review. Thanks in advance. Regards David

graphics driver, installed using the NVIDIA *.run file directly. This
installation is incompatible with the Debian packages. To install the
Debian packages safely, it is therefore necessary to undo the changes

These libraries are most likely remnants of an old installation using the
nvidia-installer program and do not belong to any package managed by dpkg.
It should be safe to delete them.

_Description: Mismatching nvidia kernel module loaded
The NVIDIA driver that is being installed (version ${new-version})
does not match the nvidia kernel module currently loaded
(version ${running-version}).
.
The X server, OpenGL, and GPGPU applications may not work properly.
.
The easiest way to fix this is to reboot the machine once the
installation has finished. You can also stop the X server (usually by
stopping the login manager, e.g. gdm3, kdm, or xdm), manually unload the
module ("rmmod nvidia"), and restart the X server.

_Description: Create a minimal Xorg configuration to enable NVIDIA?
The NVIDIA Xorg driver that was just installed requires manual configuration
to be activated.
.
A minimal config file that should be sufficient to start the X server
can be created now. This file (/etc/X11/nvidia.conf) can be customized
later if desired.
.
If you choose not to create this file now, you have to create your own
configuration (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or better /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf)
before Xorg can use the NVIDIA driver.
