My experience with Nvidia and SuSE was such that kernel upgrades frequently broke X-windows, but 3 minutes re-running the NVidia script broght things back in line. It wasn't favorable, but it wasn't impossible either.
Yes indeed, every time you install a new kernel, you have to build the matching Debian nvidia-kernel package (i.e. carefully following the instructions ...). It takes only slightly more than 3 minutes.
cheers, Simon
This is where I've finished with the install.
I'm wondering how it might be possible, if even reasonable, to have user defined scripts run after the installation of a kernel-image package? This would solve my problem of forgetting.
But so would a sticky note...
I have had to disable the kernel-image-2.6-k7 package because it will automatically upload the kernel image and I may not be around to run the NVIDIA script when it reboots.
Could I put in a script to check/store uname outputs and use that as a "flag" to at least warn about possible problems?
