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.

A follow-up to my earlier response. I just looked in sysconfig in Milestone #2 and this value is set to "yes". I didn't change it from "no" so the script in the nvidia-installer, or something else, did the changing.

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.
