I recently discovered the appeal of DKMS with VirtualBox (I installed DKMS when I was playing with the VBox 4 Betas). After installing a new kernel over the weekend, DKMS took care of updating the VirtualBox kernel modules. It did add some time to the initial reboot after the kernel update, but the result was that one of the apps that usually "breaks" after a kernel update worked without any additional intervention from me. I was rather surprised.
I had the opposite experience on 11.2 x86_64. I installed dkms and then kernel-default-2.6.37-33.1.x86_64 and could not open any of my VBox appliances. I solved it by rpm -e dkms, and then vboxdrv setup.
So... this got me to thinking... if this works so nicely with VirtualBox, why can't it be applied to the nVidia drivers... or better yet, how can it be applied.
but this *would* be nice, providing I can utilize dkms... -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
