These are the nvidia binary drivers? If so then AFAIK you need to
contact Nvidia to get them to make these compatible with PVops kernels.

However Nouvea (The oss driver for nvidia hardware which is included in
the kernel) has been known to work and if this is failing for you then
I'm sure Konrad (maintainer) would be very interested.
