A patch file to allow 295.20 to build with kernel 3.3 can be obtained from http://www.lwfinger.net/nvidia_patches/nvidia_295_20_for_3.3_err.
To use it, do
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.20.run -x cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.20 patch -p1 < nvidia_295_20_for_3.3_err ./nvidia-installer
There is a way to patch the files from the 'sh ./NV...', but I have not tested it.

A question Larry: with the appropriate wording changes, will your patch also work on the 32-bit version of the nVidia driver? I have applied other patches for the driver and the driver just will not compile in the stock-standard installation of MS #2 from the KDE LIVE 'CD' on my 32-bit system.
The patch should work on both 32- and 64-bit systems. I must admit that I only used with x86_64, but it only patches the shell script that gets the configuration. If it does not apply, then let me know.
