"kernel tainted" 'just' means that you have inserted a non GPL module in
the kernel. Since the running kernel isn't open source anymore only
nvidia can debug problems. AFAIK kernel developers refuse to work on
problems when the kernel is tainted, even if the problem seems
unrelated to the proprietary module.
