My personal opinion is that you should be using the 
'....Kernel:/stable/standard' repo and leave the HEAD one alone. The 
stable repo has the lastest kernel as 3.12.x (see my Sig line below). 
Going back to the original insallation kernel for 13.1 is going 
backwards too much.

Do you know if this patch will also work with the 331.38 driver and the 
3.12.7.x kernel?
