Ah that's what it is. Of course!

I recommend switching to nvidia-dkms which will auto rebuild the module for every kernel and lets you update them independently of each other.

Does it work with modesetting, where Nvidia is the only video driver?

It's a drop-in replacement for the nvidia package. AFAIK there are zero differences in functionality. The only change is it being built locally by DKMS instead of coming pre-built.
