Is it possible -- and how -- to compile/install this interface for

KERNEL_DIR=/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/source emerge nvidia-driver
Would save me one reboot...
Why?
1) Build new kernel
2) reboot
3) emerge nvidia-driver
4) modprobe nvidia
5) /etc/init.d/xdm start
One reboot.

Hi Dirk,
thanks for help. But let me come back to my initial question:
Is it possible to compile the source of the nvidia driver interface
for a currently compiled but unbooted kernel ?
Kind regards,
mcc
almost certainly yes.
point /usr/src/linux to the subdirectory that contains the unbooted
source code.
the compiler should look for the source code via /usr/src/linux.
