Short procedure for installing 331.38 is:
Get the 331.38.run install file.
0. Boot with kernel param 3 or in terminal as root do systemctl stop xdm. 1. sh NVIDIA...331.38.run -x to extract. 2. cp nvidia_3.13_kernel.patch to NVIDIA...331.38 folder 3. Apply patch with patch -p 1 -i ./nvidia_3.13_kernel.patch for example. 4. ./nvidia-installer -a 5. Reboot. 6. Profit. Just one addition : Don't delete the unpacked nvidia driver sources after installation. If you install a new kernel version, you can run ./nvidia-installer -aK -k <new kernel version> to build the nvidia kernel driver module for the new kernel version before booting the new kernel. No need to boot into textmode first to reinstall the nvidia drivers any more. Or, install DKMS, run the Nvidia install script and allow it to register with DKMS. No more manually building kernel modules after kernel updates. Works for Nvidia and VirtualBox drivers here. :-) "Nvidia install script" - do you mean 'sh nvidia........." or the "./nvidia-installer" thingie?
BC He means nvidia-installer and to be sure use the --dkms option on it. Also have dkms installed and enabled( systemctl enable dkms).

Thanks for that. All worked except for the bit about enabling dkms (systemctl enable dkms): this produced the error message that this command is unrecognised (and to go back and get my act together :-) .) Running './nividia-installer --dkms' worked perfectly. BC -- A civilisation is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable.
