So I attempted to install the latest release of the drivers 331.20 and it compiled with 3.11.7, but when I attempted to go into KDE it kept crashing. I tried to disable the “special effects” to no avail. I ended up rolling back to 3.9.9 kernel, and that worked fine with 331.20. I am typically kind of patient, but this has been an issue with the nvidia drivers for ever (since the release of 3.10 kernel).
