Peter:
Experience says that many mismatch problems usually arise when people manually 
compile the driver for themselves / use a tool like envy or automatrix to 
install the driver (additionally the NVIDIA driver should not be initramfs 
because it is not needed to boot the system. It could have been added but you'd 
have to manually make the change). As such this bug is very attractive to 
people doing searches for "driver mismatch". However, this bug will become 
absolutely huge if everyone who has a driver mismatch for whatever reason 
starts posting here. If you were going to support these cases then please speak 
up! I saw your sterling work on the Intel bug so I'd rather have you solve this 
bug and just unsubscribe myself so I reduce the mail.

bpotato:
Can you indicate whether you have ever manually installed the NVIDIA drivers 
from the NVIDIA website or used a 3rd party tool like envy or automatrix to 
install the drivers?
