The actual bug seems to be that the prebuilt module<br>
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/nvidia/nvidia.ko<br>
takes precedence over the dkms module<br>
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko<br>
I need to verify this and see if anything can be improved in that setting.<br>

No. It's just a coincidence that an old upstream version (195.36.31)<br>
matches the device major number (which is the same for all driver releases).<br>
