While Mandrake is releasing all these new kernels in order to fix security issues I noticed that they are in no hurry to release the matching NVIDIA modules. This leaves me in a bind. Either I wait until Mandrake releases the NVIDIA modules (who knows when) and continue running the current kernel version (which I assume is not a good idea from security perspective) or I install the new version of the kernel and download the NVIDIA code and build it for the new kernel. What is the opinion of this group?
If I do decide to build the module myself, should I remove the current NVIDIA_kernel-xxxxxx package first? I assume I don't since the module is installed in the proper kernel module tree. What about NVIDIA_GLX?
BTW, it would be nice if Mandrake would release the NVIDIA modules together with the new kernels, don't you think? They probably have now some users swearing at Mandrake because their X environment stopped working after updating the kernel...
Thanks, Avi
