Patching nvidia-graphics-drivers

I finally took the time to work on the issue that has been killing me from the begining. I could not switch away from my DisplayPort otherwise my monitor would enter in Power Save mode.

And today I decide to get my hand at patching the nvidia-graphics-drivers debian package. See my patch at:

I did the module-assistant dance ... it worked out nicely !

I can finally switch to my mac mini on DVI and then back to my debian station on DisplayPort.

Cheers
