That could be my problem. Apart from it reportedly working with 3.12. However this could be that somebody is getting confused. On my system, X works perfectly under 3.12 because nvidia-kernel-3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64 is good, this fixes the framebuffer issues. However, under 3.14, nvidia-kernel-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 is broken (undefined symbol), so X doesn't start leaving a broken framebuffer. I think it is safe to assume 3.13 is similar to 3.14. Also, if I boot 3.14 with "vga=normal nomodeset" I get good text console. Might double check this and comment on the bug report. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
