FYI, the latest nvidia-kernel-dkms package version 325.15-1 (in
debian experimental) compiles and works with linux 3.10 (packaged as
linux-image-3.10-2-amd64)

previous nvidia versions were incompatible with 3.10, wouldn't compile.

i upgraded to nvidia 325.15 and linux 3.10 about a week ago, has been
running with no problems on 3 different machines (with GTX-560, 560Ti,
and GT-240 cards).

OTOH, it's always better to have things working correctly than to have
them half working or partially disabled.
