Before I do a yum upgrade on the kernel for the security patch that was released today, I want to find out what will need to be done (if anything) to get my nVidia card to work properly with the new upgraded kernel.
I recall having a problem with the nVidia driver and a kernel upgrade when I had RH8, but didn't write down what needed to be done. I suspect things may have changed a bit since then ;-) and want to see how I should proceed to head off a potential headache.
Thanks, Clint
What I do:
1) Install new Kernel (+ source) with yum.
2) Re-compile the nvidia driver with the new kernel (checkout the nvidia homepage for new drivers. the installation program is quite good)..
3) Reboot.
Voila. This works for me.
