Ok, no, Harald's fix is a workaround to the loss of module auto-loading
(when accessing a /dev/*) which resulted from the change to udev (udev
should create the /dev/* files and load the modules corresponding to the
hardware currently in the system).   

As far as I know, there is no official fix for the problem(s) of 
"newest kernel" + "nvidia 6111" = not working.
