This was Ubuntu, and the Nvidia card I have is antique, GT7300, which is 
why 304 and not 331, and it worked until a recent upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10, 
after which the shipped drivers did not work, and the ones from the Nvidia 
website wouldn't build, complained about a missing header file, until I grabbed 
a 3.18.9 kernel from kernel.org and built per someone else's recommendations.
This is on an old MacPro 1,1.  This shipped drivers just wouldn't load.

  This seems to fix it (at least for one version upgrade) for many
  people

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

  after that...

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

  (some users may be on the versions of these packages suffixed with
  -updates )
