Compiled here, and works fine with module nvidia. 
I'm very sorry but I forgot to change my host.def to compile nv module.
I will try again to compile it with nv module, to see if it works.

Oh, I almost forgot, I saw a strange message right at the end of
installation, just the line before compile log creation :

cp: cannot stat
`programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/*.ko': No such
file or directory

Is it serious, doctor ?
