Had a chance to look in to this this evening. Apparently the nvidia-smi nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-source libnvidia-ml1:amd64 packages are still at 304.88 rather than 313.30.I guess I'm going to try rolling everything back to 304.88...

In my case, possibly my upgrades from experimental. I think I have seen a couple of other threads where pulling previous updates from experimental has lead to problems once the freeze ended.I'm going to downgrade to the nvidia drivers in sid and try 3.8 again.

On a Dell Precision M4600 laptop, I installed a clean Wheezy release, installed nvidia drivers along with the dkms packages that go with. Because of network driver trouble, I took the kernel from sid.Thanks. That's good to know. Only some folks are affected. I wonder why?
After that, everything works fine. I mean, video is fine. Networking still a problem. Here is my version information:
