Check out module-rebuild. You put a list of packages in it - evdev, |
| 16 |
keyboard, nvidia-drivers, vmware-modules, etc., and then just run it |
| 17 |
after an xorg-server upgrade or a kernel change. Once you set it up |
| 18 |
you don't have to remember too much about which packages need to be |
| 19 |
rebuilt. I just run |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
module-rebuild -X rebuild |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
and it all gets done for me. |

Hope this helps, |
