Does the nvidia-driver really need the kernel for which it will be |
| 8 |
compiled running? I always compile the new kernel, let module-rebuild do |
| 9 |
it's job and reboot. Never had problems with this. I think it just needs |
| 10 |
the kernel sources ready for which it will be compiled. This means |
| 11 |
emerging kernel sources and have the symlink properly set. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
To use a new driver when there is no kernel change without a reboot you |
| 14 |
just need to stop the X-Server unload and load the nvidia driver and |
| 15 |
start the X-Server again. |
