Bug#650703: nvidia-settings: Can not use X Server Display Configuration due to error

[tmp10 at shaw.ca]

I did not have "contrib" in the apt line. I had simply copied the line 
from the backports instructions (deb 
http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main). I 
have now added contrib (deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports 
squeeze-backports main contrib), updated the package list, purged the 
nividia-settings package and reinstalled. It pulled down the 
290.10-1~bpo60+1 version which works as expected, I can now access the 
screen settings without the error.  Great! Thanks!

One further question, wtih the backports repository enabled I have a 
number of packages that can be upgraded. Should I go ahead and update 
them all or just remove the backports line from the sources.list file 
now that I have a working copy of nvidia-settings.

Thanks,
Conan
