Thanks for this, Sid, I don't have a 50-disable-nouveau.conf but the disable is in 50-blacklist.conf. But I will now create this 50-disable-nouveau.conf and see what happens.
319.23 module fails to build. There is a patch (http://pastie.org/7942599) to allow it to build for the latest kernels. The patch is called " pastie-7942599.diff". Referred to on https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/543728/linux/building-nvidia-driver...
Regards Sid.
I've had no trouble with compiling the 319.23 with the 3.9.x kernels at all, and if I remember correctly I even compiled it with the Milestone #1. It's with M#2 that I am having a hassle for some reason because I cannot get rid of the nouveau driver.
Let's see what happens when I create this 50-....file.....
Well it seems that the blacklisting nouveau driver does not work because even with the blacklisting files created by the nvidia installer itself do not 'remove' the driver because one can reboot and login into the system with the nouveau driver still active.
Bummer......

The README.txt has a section on blacklisting nouveau which also mentions a problem if initrd was generated with nouveau and the need to regenerate initrd without the nouveau module.
May be that's where the problem is.
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...... :-)

See a previous email, you need the pastie-7942599.diff patch. Regards Sid.
Thanks, Sid, but see Larry's post. I had a look at that patch and as I said I have no trouble with compiling the driver on the 3.9.x kernels (the latest one I have is 3.9.7-1).
