I don't know if this is related, but I have to cast nvidia without X going. Also recently, my /dev/nvidia* has go-rw priviledges

Spells that encountered problems:

nvidia_driver

...I'd submit a bug for it, but I have no GUI, have been battling with converting my mbox system to Maildir (gave up: couldn't convince procmail to save files in Maildir, couldn't convince dovecot to view /var/spool/mail as the inbox, and no GUI makes things that much more awkward. It can all be something for another day.)

Oh, also, I tried reverting to the previous NVIDIA_driver, but trying to run something with it caused an Oops.
