4 Hi,

6 Firstly let me thank all the developers for a great distro. As this is my
7 first post I thought I should thank everyone for the effort.

9 Now to my question. In the nvidia-kernel ebuild, the kernel module is placed
10 in /lib/modules/{kernel-version}/kernel/video
11
12 This means that a recompiled kernel, specifically a make modules_install will
13 overwrite the NVdriver file in /lib/modules/{kernel-version}/kernel/video
14
15 Wouldn't a more appropriate place be /lib/modules/{kernel-version}/video like
16 the alsa modules go into /lib/modules/{kernel-version}/misc ???
17
18 Just a thought. Have a great day.
