OK, first install nvidia-kernel-legacy-source:
As root:
# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-legacy-source
Then save my patch in a file. Use cut & paste from the bug report or
save the included attachment.
Lets call the file /tmp/nvidia-kernel-legacy-source.patch .
Then read the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-legacy-source/README.Debian .
After step 1 in README.Debian, patch the source:
# cd /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel-legacy/nv
# patch -p1 </tmp/nvidia-kernel-legacy-source.patch
Then proceed with the remaining steps described in README.Debian.
/ Anders
