Here's what I did:

Remove 3 lines from /usr/src/nvidia-current-195.36.24/nv.c (see attached
diff), run `sudo dkms build -m nvidia-current -v 195.36.24`. If that
works, run `sudo dkms install -m nvidia-current -v 195.36.24`.

Now, if you're still in an X session, log out, switch to a virtual
console, log in and run `sudo service gdm stop` (or whatever dm you
happen to be running, if at all). Unload the old module if it's still
loaded (`sudo rmmod nvidia`) and load the new one with `sudo modprobe
nvidia-current`. Now run `exec sudo service gdm start`, `startx` or
whatever floats your boat. If this is too difficult, a plain restart
should suffice, too. If the package manager had errors, you can run
`sudo apt-get -f install` or `sudo dpkg --configure --pending` and it'll
run dkms for you as well. Just don't restart X until the new module is
loaded and you'll be fine.

This is using package nvidia-current version 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.
I'll try to make a debdiff shortly.
