Error: could not insert 'nvidia' :Exec format error


there's another annoyance with the 304. If you're running a nvidia optimus machine it will overwrite the openGL file for the intel-card so that no use of GLX is possible with th intel-card. I solved the problem by installing the driver from the nvidia-homepage using the option "--no-opengl-files"(don't know if this can also be done by installing the driver from the repos)

solved problem 1, 2.

problem 1:
-> use nvidia 304.43 or patched 304.37

problem 2:
-> disable linux kernel CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
-> make oldconfig && make && sudo make modules_install && sudo make install
-> rerun nvidia installer.

PS: also, it works fine with kernel 3.6.0-rc4.
