Currently all NVIDIA drivers are incompatible with Linux kernel 3.10.

Please, update them.
I’m talking about:
313.30
319.32
325.08 beta
LTS releases: 304.88
173.14.37
96.43.23 & 71.86.15 (not really necessary - the supported hardware is pretty ancient)
[b]Update: drivers 325.15 are fully compatible with kernel 3.10.
There’s a little incompatibility with kernel 3.11, which can be fixed by applying this patch.[/b]
I played a bit around with the patches.
The nv_i2c file is easy to correct. But the proc* file is tricky. I can just say, that with 3.10 stable kernel release compiling even with patch is not possible with 325 and 319 driver series.
The following patch provides a simple fix:
[url]http://pastebin.com/N0a5KMZa[/url]
It disables the proc fs, but it seems not to be needed anyway (nvidia-settings works fine). I tested it with the nvidia version 295.20.
I have it working with 304.88 (current Debian-testing), after hacking siddly’s patch a little (removed more references to NV_CREATE_PROC_FILE). Seems to work ok (no compile errors, graphics look ok, no bad log entries).
sean64’s patch of 7/10 might have worked (it’s at least very simple, as he says), but patch reports it as incomplete (“stops in the middle of a line”). Don’t know why.
I made a couple of modifications to the above patches in order to really clean up the /proc/driver/nvidia directory, which remained on the way after rmmoding the nvidia module, thus causing oopses at the next modprobe when the module tried to create again its proc directory.
@birdie Totally agree…hope they read some of these posts?
