If no one else has it, I'll share my solution as I have some issues with the
newest Nvidia's driver, but not had the time yet to fully tackle it.

Hopefully I'll get to it within a few days.

I've used Nvidia drivers for years and never had these problems. I also have a
little script which makes updating the driver each time the kernel changes,
very simple.
