I can’t install the drivers. I have kernel headers (though they are at 2.6.30 version), i have kernel-syms, kernel-desktop-devel, make and gcc is also there. Could it be somehow connected with that 2.6.31 kernel userspace?
I had to download the new Nvidia driver from there website in order for it to install.
Cheers 
It appears that 185.19 is not the newest driver but 185.18.31 which installed succesfully.
The latest beta 190.xx didn’t install either.
I also did it and i was surprised that 185.19 is not the recommended driver rotfl! Who would have thought that 185.19 is older than 185.18.31

Kernel headers MUST match the kernel you are building!!! If they
are not the same, the building of any out-of-kernel driver will fail.

I downloaded 185.18.29 today and installed it on 2.6.31-rc5. It seems
to be fine. That was the one that the website gave me.
Sometimes it worth to read the nwforums, they are explained that a long time ago.
I compiled the 190 driver, no problems so far.
successful compile for me using nvidia drivers & kernel-devel-pae - although at the end of the process there was a seg fault. I went into Sax and set the resolution restarted X and all was well.
now if only my HDA Intel sound and gtk apps would work…
How did you update the kernel?
Aren’t there any dependency problems (VirtualBox kernel modules)?

They have to be recompiled, but that is not a problem.
Did you install it through Kernel:HEAD?
No, i’m using 11.2 M5 full time, but if you’re using 11.1 then you can also have it i guess (AppArmor is not working, mind that). You will get greater hardware compatibility and faster boot time (VERY FAST BOOT TIME)
Note that Milestone 5 sometimes installs kernel-desktop as well. NVidia drivers install fine on kernel-default, errors about kernel versions on kernel-desktop…
