I think you are right, and I am using an NVidia card, but I am still 
stuck.

I did an 'apt-get update' & an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and then 
successfully got the kernel module (w/ 'apt-get install 
nvidia-graphics4363-kmdl-$MYKERNEL')

But I get an error when I try to get the driver itself ('apt-get 
install nvidia-graphics4363') to the effect that it is not installable 
because it "depends on python2 (=2.2)"

Do I need to downgrade python somehow?  Or is this a dependency bug in 
the nvidia driver package?
