Just tried installing Linux-4.1 from experimental on my desktop Jessie system to try btrfs.

Unfortunately, the nvidia-kernel-dkms package from Jessie will not compile against Linux-4.1, and the version from experimental requires the nvidia-driver from experimental also, which pulls in a dependency that cannot be satisfied in Jessie+experimental.

So I tried switching to NOUVEAU. This appears to work, but instead of starting gdm I get a big graphical screen saying "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again." The X log files show nothing serious wrong:

So I suspect if I want to test btrfs on this system, I really should upgrade to Debian testing first...
