The following errors are reported: Could not insert module Unknown symbol in module and: nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0) nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0) It looks like the buildfix_kernel_4.3.patch, which is supposed to be dealing with those calls, is not applied in this release of the package. The package was working fine with the previous fully updated Ubuntu version 16.04 prior to the upgrade to 16.10.
