Fwd: module nvidia not found / amd64 jessie

As all packages seem to be installed, I wonder whether attention should be
paid to the message by the graphical VMD, while detecting the two GTX 680:

CUDA error: invalid device symbol, CUDAClearDevice.cu line 62

Hello:

Following update/upgrade with amd64 jessie, the 2 GTX 680 are seen by the
graphical package VMD, however, "nvidia -smi" does not respond. The GTX are
used in the absence of X-server, for number crunching.

I rerun upgrading at no help.

I can't remember which nvidia driver was operating before these problems.
