5 You have to rebuild those drivers that have been obtained outside the
6 "standard" kernel source tree. This applies to all types of drivers,
7 not only video drivers, for example:
8
9 ati-drivers (video)
10 nvidia-drivers (video)
11 ipw2100 (wireless)
12 ivtv (pvr card)
13
14
15 This is is independent from modular X.
