This is due to a new variable name used both by nvidia & the kernel: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1750 (explanation) Instead of following the tweaks explained above, a ready to use nvidia-367 driver works very well on my yakkety 64 bits installation with 4.6 & 4.7 kernels. ppa:mamarley/staging So the easiest way for nvidia users is to use that 'mamarley' ppa (thanks for his job) Maybe it could be pushed into the yakkety archive.
