Yes, this happens fairly often with proprietary drivers. Once upon a time |

I would spend hours hacking away at the nvidia install scripts and I got |
| 8 |
pretty good at fixing the problems (always caused by sudden changes to |
| 9 |
the linux kernel header files) but now I just can't work up enough energy |
| 10 |
to do it any longer. |

The nvidia-drivers you need still compile against linux-3.6.11, but no |
| 13 |
later than that. I know because I use the same drivers. |

The nvidia devs will eventually get around to patching the kernel drivers |
| 16 |
for older nvidia hardware, but they're getting slower as the hardware ages. |
