Check out module-rebuild. You put a list of packages in it - evdev, keyboard, nvidia-drivers, vmware-modules, etc., and then just run it after an xorg-server upgrade or a kernel change. Once you set it up you don't have to remember too much about which packages need to be rebuilt. I just run module-rebuild -X rebuild and it all gets done for me. Hope this helps, Mark
