Andreas,

        How do you handle the situation where you are running the nvidia driver 
on 
the normal kernel and then boot to the lts kernel? The kernel boots fine, but 
X is dead, presumably because the nvidia driver isn't compiled against that 
kernel and laughs when you tell it to start. Any way of having a separate 
driver in the lts kernel module tree? To do that would you just install the 
nvidia driver again while the lts kernel is running and have it get put in the 
right place?

        I guess so, I'll give it a go tomorrow. If that sounds like a really 
bad 
idea, let me know. Thanks.
