Is this new hardware or an OS upgrade? You used to have loch working,
right? In which case do older loch versions work?

There used to be a patch in the Debian version of loch to allow it to
work with some intel graphics cards, but I took that out in the 5.3.6
upload IIRC, as it had stopped breaking on my machine, due to vtk or
xorg driver fixes (I presume). (I'd have to check to be sure exactly
which version). It seems unlikely that this has anything to do with
your nvidia problem.

Does it help at all if you use the noveau driver rather than the
nvidia one?

(apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau)
