Is this kernel issue with the NVIDIA driver unique to the 304, the GPU card or does it affect all NVIDIA drivers? In particular I'm waiting for 14.2rc1 before attempting an upgrade on my x64 with 8400GS card using the 340.96 driver. But I'm interested in any issue that affects the NVIDIA driver vs the Nouveau driver since I have dual monitors of differing size that my GPU and driver handle flawlessly right now. Thanks for posting the issue.
Distribution: Debian Sid AMD64, Raspbian Wheezy, various VMs

I'm using Debian Sid not Slackware but I compiled my own 4.4.0 kernel and the 340.96 NVIDIA drivers provided with Sid work just fine.
I'm probably going to make an idiot of myself but I think this is likely a problem with older drivers.
argh! I actual recompiled the generic 4.4.0 kernel with pat's config and applied the patch!
anyway it worked with nvidia-kernel-352.63_4.4.0_smp-x86-2_SBo.. maybe not needed.

It's safe to upgrade, I think. I'm running -current with kernel 4.4.0 and nvidia-legacy340-driver (340.96) from SBo.
