Bug Description
[Impact]
Nvidia and fglrx drivers need to be updated in order to build against Linux 3.7
[Test case]
1. Install the latest upstream kernel as described at https:/
2. confirm that the nvidia and fglrx drivers fail to compile against this kernel, and that rebooting to this kernel gives no binary driver.
3. upgrade to the packages in precise-proposed.
4. confirm that the new version of the package successfully builds the kernel module.

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-
---------------
nvidia-
* debian/
make-
replace-
- Add support for Linux 3.7 (LP: #1075937).
* New upstream release:
- Fixed a bug that caused the EIZO FlexScan SX2762W
monitor to remain blank when connected via
DisplayPort.
- Updated nvidia-settings to save and restore
per-monitor color correction settings when RandR
1.2 or later is available.
- Fixed a bug that caused too many display devices
to appear in the X Screen page of nvidia-settings
when SLI is enabled.
- Fixed a bug that caused applications to stop
rendering or the X server to hang in Xinerama
configura
mapped, or unmapped.
- Fixed a bug that caused poor OpenGL performance
on GeForce 6 and 7 PCI cards.
- Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that made it report
the status of ECC configuration incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if a
display was put into DPMS off mode and subsequently
reenabled while screen transformations are in use.
- Fixed a bug that caused the X Resize and Rotate
extension to be enabled when Xinerama is enabled.
These two X extensions are incompatible and having
them both enabled can confuse window managers such
as KDE's kwin. RandR is now correctly disabled when
Xinerama is enabled.
- Fixed a bug causing OpenGL stereo applications to
not work properly when using passive stereo modes 5
through 9 on Quadro Fermi and newer GPUs.
- Added support for the "Backlight" RandR output
property for configuring the brightness of some
notebook internal panels.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Ubuntu Unity launcher
panel from unhiding (LP:# 1057000).
- Fixed a bug that caused incorrect input
transform
with xserver ABI 12 (xorg-server 1.12) or newer.
- Fixed a bug that caused GLX to leak memory when
Xinerama is enabled.
- Fixed a regression in backlight control functionality
on some notebook configurations.
- Fixed a performance issue with recent Linux kernels
when allocating and freeing system memory.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the display
device / X screen selection menu from being displayed
in nvidia-settings.
- Fixed a bug that prevented X driver gamma
manipulation from working after a VT-switch on some
configura
- Added the option --output-file to nvidia-
to allow specifying a custom filename for the log file.
- Fixed a hang when using OpenGL programs with some SLI
Mosaic configurations on pre-Fermi GPUs.
- Added sections to the Supported NVIDIA GPU Products
list for NVS, Tesla, and VGX products.
- Added support for the following GPUs:
o VGX K1
o VGX K2
o Tesla K20c
o Tesla K...

Probably it could help to set the priority from low to something higher. The initial changelog date tracks back to November 2012

The whole process of having a current restricted driver might become more important with the implementation of "Steam for Linux"
The Nouveau doesn't seem to be compatible with the blop, yet. :-P
