I'm using the nvidia drivers from negativo17. I have the nvidia source module registered with dkms and it seems to be being compiled when I get a new kernel, if that is the case what do I need to do to resolve the following messages shown by "dmesg"?

When you load a proprietary module into the kernel it becomes tainted. There is no way to "fix" it. It is like replacing the battery in your iPhone with a battery you bought on the street corner. You have voided the warranty.
