Alberto is the man!


For the testers: I went to the /usr/src/nvidia-173-173.14.39 directory and edited the nv-linux.h file.

At around line 213 of that file I pasted the "#include
<acpi/acpi_bus.h>" line of the patch below the "#define
NV_LINUX_ACPI_EVENTS_SUPPORTED" like described in the patch of the link
in #7:


#define NV_LINUX_ACPI_EVENTS_SUPPORTED 1
#include <acpi/acpi_bus.h>
#endif


Then as root a "dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-173" which produced the following output:

root@XXX:/usr/src/nvidia-173-173.14.39# dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-173
Removing all DKMS Modules

And after a reboot the nvidia driver worked!
