For the record in case this helps someone. After more searching I found |
| 2 |
this post which has a script that creates the |
| 3 |
nvidia /dev entries. It appears for some reason that udev is not doing it. |
| 4 |
I'm using udev 068-r1 which is latest stable and changelog does not |
| 5 |
mention any nvidia fixes in newer versions. A search for udev+nvidia |
| 6 |
turned up others with the trouble. |
