I may find some odd bug but not a clash with kernel and driver. Then again, I don't update my kernel very often either. I did make it to 3.9.5 a little while back. I do recall reading about issues with the 3.10.* kernels tho. I think something moved or something and Nvidia needed to update the drivers. I would usually say I am lucky but folks that know me know better than that. lol Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
