So I went to www.nvidia.com, downloaded the package and built it myself. Works like a charm. And updates end up in weak-updates anyway :oD

Right it just works. But remember every Kernel Upgrade You Have to Reinstall the Driver. Don't forget....
Normally yes, but Niki says the driver goes to weak-updates upon kernel update. Wonder if this actually eliminated the need for rebuilding in his case.

Ahh, I know what he's talking about now. When you install the module it will go out to nvidia to check for newer kernel modules. It prompts you for a choice to build one or get one download one from nvidia. I always build the module when I do a kernel upgrade. Now keep in mind my nvidea card is way older than his and I use the older drivers that as of now will not be updated anymore. The newer driver packages from them may include different options. Like for instance the weekly updates??? Maybe??
