Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 1.0.8762-2
Followup-For: Bug #311802
Closely related to this is the fact that newer kernels no longer run depmod on
boot. See "http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/06/msg00535.html";.
nvidia-kernel packages should run depmod in postinst. Attached is a patch to
nvidia-graphics-drivers that implements this. All it does is uncomment the
dh_installmodules line. dh_installmodules adds the logic to do the depmod for
the right kernel version in postinst.
Peace,
Brendon
