Hi!

I got error during nvidia driver installation:

    The following packages were automatically installed and are no
    longer required:
       nvidia-vdpau-driver libgl1-nvidia-glx libgl1-nvidia-alternatives
    libglx-nvidia-alternatives
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
    The following extra packages will be installed:
       libgl1-nvidia-alternatives libgl1-nvidia-glx

As you see here is error at building dkms module for 3.9 kernel. Make 
log says:

I found solution here 
<http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-beta/481597-warning-kernel-3-7-1-1-breaks-fglrx-12-6-legacy-driver.html>. 
The problem is that the symbol VM_RESERVED was removed from kernel 3.7.
So, i'll be glad to help you in this fix. Just let me know if you need 
more logs, research etc.
