Hi Patrick,

sorry, that I have to ask again. I still don't understand.
If I understood your first answer correctly there was a problem with new
BIOS and the Nvidia-card driver, which gets resolved by some new driver --
correct?

If I use the janitor-script, it downloads the latest official nvidia driver
for linux from their ftp-server.

Now, if I'd add that ubuntu-x source and upgrade what will happen? Will it
download an unofficial nvidia driver created by that team? If so, I doubt
that this will have support for CUDA, which I need.

Please clearify.

br, André
