Frankly the proprietary driver is never up to date with the kernel and it is well that's luck if it ever works with a new version of the kernel after you have reinstalled "recompiled the module with code you can't see against the new code"
If you have a problem with the proprietary driver take it up with ?Nvidia. In theory you pay them to make it work correct ?
If you don't pay them for support then find a card that doesn't use proprietary code.

Yup, I run the proprietary driver for VDPAU support. If anyone knows
how to get that from the open source driver I would like to know.
