</div>Hello George,<br>
<br>
There has been an ABI change in the kernel at version 3.11 affecting all binaries that use it, including the nvidia drivers.<br>
This is a very simple change with a simple fix.<br>
<br>
Here is the bugzilla entry.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2956" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2956</a><br>
<br>
The fix is out, you can find it here:<br>

<br>
This has not been released in the the rpmfusion repos because the buildsystem is currently broken.<br>
<br>
[ra@hamburger ~]$ uname -a<br>
Linux <a href="http://hamburger.home.ra.is" target="_blank">hamburger.home.ra.is</a> 3.11.1-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Sep 14 15:04:51 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux<br>
[ra@hamburger ~]$ lsmod | grep -i nvidia<br>
nvidia 9430089 57<br>
drm 274480 2 nvidia<br>
i2c_core 34242 3 drm,nvidia,videodev<br>
<br>
<br>
The fix is working great for me.<br>

<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">BTW, while I appreciate Harald's views, I am more than happy to break things and look for a fix. I worry about stability on the system I build for my kids, but not mine.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
