Just a side note...I just ran updates today (first time since Wednesday...its now Saturday), and I had to re-run the patching procedure. Not a big deal. Is there some way to make script for this? My scripts tend to break things really bad and I would rather not do THAT to everyone else. What needs to happen is this (taken from #52): Keep in mind...This ONLY works if you have successfully applied the patch PREVIOUSLY:

(1. ) add the following two lines to the bottom of /usr/src/nvidia-185.18.36/dkms.conf:

PATCH[1]="pat.patch"
PATCH_MATCH[1]="2.6.31"

(2. ) After that, you have to recompile the kernel module nvidia and reboot afterwards:

$ sudo dkms remove -m nvidia -v 185.18.36 --all
$ sudo dkms add -m nvidia -v 185.18.36
$ sudo dkms build -m nvidia -v 185.18.36
