cuda and insufficient driver version

Greetings

I’m trying to use CUDA technology, but have some issues

greymachine ~/NVIDIA_CUDA-5.0_Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery $ ./deviceQuery 
./deviceQuery Starting...

 CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

cudaGetDeviceCount returned 35
-> CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version

greymachine ~/NVIDIA_CUDA-5.0_Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery $ *

That’s my problem.

My config:

$ nvidia-settings -q NvidiaDriverVersion
  Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (greymachine.localdomain:0.0): 310.19

$ uname -r
3.7.1-un-def-alt2.1

I’ve installed cuda toolkit, downloaded from the nvidia site, i’ve precompiled drivers from my distro (Alt Linux), but libcuda.so doesn’t come with them, so i copied that library from original nvidia drivers. Compiling is ok. I’ve also tested 2.6.32 kernel with 304.51: got the same msg, but that is understandable, cuda comes with 304.54 driver.

AFAIU, if i have newer drivers, than came with cuda toolkit, that is ok. But as u see some thing is wrong.

So, can kernel drivers be newer, than original (i.e drivers i got with cuda)
May be i should compile modules myself? but what for, why? my distro modules work good.
