nvidia-package should be renewed

Hi all,

just a suggestion. IMO debian-amd64 should upgrade to the latest (o.k. its
beta)-driver from Nvidia. The version is 190.32 (the official debian-package is
180.36).

Doing so solves two problems:

1. The server is no more crashing when starting some java-applications
(especially "tvbrowser" was a killer).

2. when shutting down, the screen content is no more saved in a hidden memory
of the graphics card (I sent a security-report some time ago). With the latest
driver this security hole is fixed.

Please do not forget, this is just a suggestion.........

Best regards

Hans-J. Ullrich
