Well I have followed and did what is suggested in that READ file, and I even remade initrd with the result that at least now there IS an attempt to compile the driver -- however the build fails :-( and I get this in the installation log:
which, to me at least, is suggesting that there is a problem with the kernel
BTW, the kernel in M#2 is 3.10.0-rc4 and not the 3.9.x series.
I think I may have to wait for the movie to come out...... :-)
The kernel API has been changed. The patch to correct the issue you report can be found at http://lwn.net/Articles/550357/; however, that only gets you to the next problem caused by create_proc_entry() being removed. I will soon need to be able to compile the 310.64 nVidia driver with kernel 3.10 and I will have to make the appropriate fix, but I have not yet done it yet. I may even wait until 3.11-rc1 is out and fix both versions.

Larry,
Any ETA for the patch for the 3.10 kernel?
Yes, a patch for building nVidia driver 304.64 is at http://www.lwfinger.com/nvidia_patches/patch_nvidia_304_64_for_3_10.patch. This is not a patch used to fix the .run file, but is set to patch the extracted files; however, it is relatively easy to convert it. I have no idea what changes would be needed for the current driver release. My hardware is old and not supported by drivers much later than 304.64.
