Nope, good idea, but not the case. I did the update world yesterday and haven't been able to get into X since. I've been working totally from the command line and I did recompile the nvidia-drivers after booting into the new kernel. The error messages I'm getting are when I try to start x. Also, I followed the How To, which tells you to 'lsmod nvidia && rmmod nvidia' and then modprobe nvidia after compile the driver. > modprobe nvidia > dmesg | tail -n10 > uname -a > modinfo nvidia | grep vermagic > > And e-mail back any error messages the modprobe gives at that point, > and the output of the dmesg command and the modinfo command. I'll try this, but I checked dmesg when I first was having problems and it looks to me that the nvidia-module is loading fine.
