- What happened again if you installed such a driver and tried to
upgrade X/the kernel/etc?
For Intel, nothing as the driver is part of Xorg.
With Fedora you can use the 3rd party rpms from freshrpms.net that use
dkms to automatically recompile the kernel drivers with every kernel
change which means kernel changes are not an issue unless the kernel
changes something (not very common).
Um the drm kernel components of the Intel drivers may or may not
recompile. For eg. was I using Cisco VPN Client on kernel 2.6.9 and
the kernel module gave a compile error after I upgraded to 2.6.11
because of a kernel variable name change.
