OK, I'm poking around in livna repos in order to try out the test version of the nvidia driver with all the ignore ABI gimmicks and wot-not that suggest some folks have gotten it to function in 2D, and I see all these akmod packages. What the heck is an akmod versus a kmod?
I believe its the "actual" kmod package. It gets dragged in if you install the kmod package, which is now a "generic" package. The akmod is what gets built every time you install a new kernel and need new builds of your modules for it. No longer is there a need to download a new pre-built kmod package, now, it just re-builds your modules for you.
At least that's the way I see it working on my F9 laptop. -- Kevin J.
