I assume you have a videocard based on a Nvidea chipset. Loading the proprietary nvidea driver does 'taint' the kernel: it's no longer completely open source and problems can only be debugged by Nvidea. AFAIK kernel developers won't work on problems with a tainted kernel even if the problems seem unrelated to the module that tainted the kernel.
