Okay - I stand corrected. I was going by the write-up from apt-cache show nvidia-glx-src, which with the focus my mind was in (and due to a phone call that interrupted my thought processes) led me to that erroneous understanding. Not running NVidia hardware here, I didn't download and dig around the package itself. -- Mark L.
