I have not been able to install the prop nvidia drivers to kernels 3.3.x. I get a complaining screen:
ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system. If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
the patch/correction is present in 295.33
The nvidia instructions and readme are no apparent help or I do not understand.
tks,
there's threads at oS forums, where this problem has been discussed and patches provided to solve it.
personally i didn't have to deal with this yet since i'm still on kernel 3.1.9-1.4, but if this doesn't get fixed soon, i may have to. here's the URL of one of these threads:

Shortcut is to run these commands to generate the missing files: cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make prepare cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source/arch/x86/include/ cp -v generated/asm/unistd*.h ./asm/ # the last line (below) must contain the correct path and file name Then install as usual with: sh /root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.33.run Or roll the lot into a script.
