(Get the code!)
@Silvio: It sounds like a different problem from the one I had (the nvidia driver failed to get an interrupt for the card in my case). I have seen dkms fail to install the new driver in the past though.
Just a note in case it helps anyone, the commands to install the driver are:
Check if the driver is installed for any kernel:
dkms status
sudo dkms build -m nvidia-current -v [insert version here] -k [insert kernel version here]
sudo dkms install -m nvidia-current -v [insert version here] -k [insert kernel version here]
eg for kernel 3.0.0-13-generic and nvidia 290.10:
sudo dkms install -m nvidia-current -v 290.10 -k 3.0.0-13-generic
You can also use the tab key to auto-complete the module, version, and kernel version, which is handy.
