Bug#973362: Workaround

[Bas van der Peet]

Thanks for the suggestion.

I went back to kernel 5.8.x and reinstalled nvidia-driver (reconfigure
didn't work because I had broken the driver trying to fix it ...) . After a
reboot I had my video working again.

Bug#973362: Workaround

Hi!

I have been afflicted by this issue too, and I have found a possible
workaround. If you boot into kernel 5.8.0-3, and run `dpkg-reconfigure
nvidia-kernel-dkms`, a usable kernel module is produced for that kenel.
Then, you can reboot or just `modprobe nvidia` and restart your X server.

Another "workaround" is upgrading to the nvidia driver packages at version
450.80.02-1, already included in sid. This implies that the bug has
thankfully been already fixed.
