I have just added the nvidia-modeset.ko to my setup to load on startup
and have my monitor back. Maybe this should be documented in UPDATING?

BTW I also have another minor issue now, the text VTYs display some
ascii art style garbage. It also changes if I press keys, so they do
react to input.

Maybe I'm missing some configuration or is it a bug? Or some
incompatibility with my video card (GeForce GT 630)?
