Bug Description

Upgrading LMDE with a new UP results in the loss of X windows system and a reboot to the terminal mode
if a proprietary (Nvidia) videocard driver was previously being used.

This is annoying as indicated by some fellow LMDE users here:

The famous sgfxi script sure manages quickly to resolve this situation.
However, the script is not in the LMDE repositories.

The following videocard.sh shell script proved to be tremendously helpful when upgrading multiple LMDE machines.

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo wget -Nc smxi.org/sgfxi
sudo chmod +x sgfxi
sudo sgfxi
