[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#525414: closed by Daniel Baumann <daniel at debian.org> (reply to daniel at debian.org) (Re: nvidia-graphics-drivers: damages some Fujitsu notebook)

[A Mennucc]

hi Daniel

the original advisory says
> Using earlier NVIDIA Linux drivers on the Celsius H270 notebook will 
> result in a corrupt EDID
and
> anyone repackaging a 180.xx NVIDIA Linux graphics driver upgrade to 
> 180.51

moreover what LWN says is
> It fixes a problem with the 180.29 release (packaged by RPMFusion, at 
> least) 
it does not say that 180.29 is the only release being affected.

So I would strongly suggest upgrading the driver (and reopening 
the bug so that people withthat notebook are advised not to use the 
older one)
