SOLVED - Will not play .avi files

[Huecuva]

Alright, so after 2 hours screwing around with this, I finally decided to just upgrade the kernel to the latest one available in backports following these directions and then installed whatever driver installed by default from that. Now I have the 535 driver, no more messages about dependency issues preventing configuration and dmesg no longer complains about kernel modules and the nvidia-persistence daemon. And it seems to be working:

To make sure, I attempted to play Constantine again. This time it worked.
