mesa is needed only for open source drivers, but not sure if our z-rejected spell for nvidia proprietary drivers is up to date. also, have you tried to build all drivers in kernel? maybe the modules don't want to load? can be udev/kmod issue.

Have you tried igp first?

the fix is already in the repo.try updating your grimoire and recast init.d.

no idea why it works for me without the patch.

$ cat -A /proc/filesystems

What's yours?

I tried your patch. works great, but I had no problem with staging before your patch. what locale do you use? can you change it to C and check some spell without your patch?

Since I don't have git push access I'll leave the patch here.
