Right. This was pointed out by Daniel, and this step is excluded from |
| 8 |
the default setup. The nvidia-kernel package provides a script to |
| 9 |
create the devices for users who don't use devfs. |

The package installs /etc/modules.d/nvidia. We should, probably, move |
| 22 |
all the nvidia-driver specific entries from /etc/modules.d/modules |
| 23 |
into /etc/modues.d/nvidia. |
