It works though when I reboot. I don't need to reinstall. Should I go ahead and run what you suggested? If it won't hurt anything I'll give it a shot.
Neal,
It is possible that the changes you made by copying the .ko file has changed the underlying behavior, which is not a bad thing.
I do not believe that by running the two commands you will hurt anything.
However, if you are not having trouble during a re-boot, which is the key symptom of the udev problem, you may not need to. In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
You might want to run:
$ ls -l /etc/udev/devices
and see what you get. If it is something like:
$ ls -l /etc/udev/devices crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 Apr 11 17:01 nvidia0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 1 Apr 11 17:01 nvidia1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 2 Apr 11 17:01 nvidia2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 3 Apr 11 17:01 nvidia3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 4 Apr 11 17:01 nvidia4 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 5 Apr 11 17:01 nvidia5 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 6 Apr 11 17:01 nvidia6 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 7 Apr 11 17:01 nvidia7 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 Apr 11 17:01 nvidiactl
Then you are probably OK as is. The dates of these files correspond to my last kernel upgrade and re-run of the nVidia installer.
HTH,
Marc
