Kernel 3.0 and nvidia driver - freeze issues

[xigen]

I just upgraded to 11.10 with the 3.x kernel. Unfortunately, my system runs for about 30 seconds and then freezes. My guess is that the nvidia video driver is not set correctly for the new kernel.

How do I update the nvidia driver given that my graphics freeze?

Please upload these files as attachments to your post:

~/.xsession-errors
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/var/log/syslog1

Note: on errorm next boot grab/copy syslog1 to your home directory and append ".txt" to it's name... Copy the other to files to Home and append ".txt" to their file names. This forum's attachments for text files require that file extension.

Are you using the NVidia Binaries or Ubuntu's packaged drivers? If binaries, then also post the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

Well - ugh!

I gave up and reinstalled.

Then the kernel got updated from 3 0 0 12 to 3 0 0 13 and now I have driver issues again.

There must be a better way.
