OK, so the new driver is 169.12, which is substantially the same
driver that is in Debian Sid.

Unfortunately I am not able to get it to work. I'm on a crippled
system right now, and even though nvidia-kernel-new-source and
nvidia-glx-new are installed, and other versions are deinstalled or
even purged, Xorg still thinks I'm using the old 98.43 something
driver.

So i'm getting version conflicts in the xorg log and on the main
screen. I've temporarily changed to the nv driver just so I can get
back into iceweasel, so i can do the message, but now everything is
screwed up - I can't even focus into a console to cut and paste the
error messages I get.

According to dpkg, I see just 169.12 files installed. No traces
(according to dpkg) exist for the prior driver. Why would it still
think I was using the old driver? Did I forget something????


Just for your information it was about here on my old 7.10 that I
said "enough!" and loaded a new version of 7.10. Sure glad I did. Xorg
is very complex!
