Is there a special version of the Nvidia Driver needed to have DKMS work? I have the Nvidia driver from Nvidia's Website, dkms is installed, boot shows if active at least for the kernel. But I still need to manual install driver each time I change between 12.3 and 13.1 on same disk.
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you install dkms before or after you installed the Nvidia drivers? It needs to be installed before. Then when you build the drivers, the build script finds dkms and you get a message about it in the installed asking if you want to use dkms for future kernel updates (I forget the exact wording). If you answer Yes, the script does its magic to hook the driver up with dkms. Then next kernel update it should auto-build the driver on the first boot after the kernel is installed.
