Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-177
GNU/Linux should be modular operating system, and that means that you
don't need to restart your PC if you install some new driver, you can
just load the new module, or in Nvidia restricted driver case, you just
need to restart X. That was OK before, but now on Intrepid and on Hardy
too, I NEED to restart my PC to be able to use my new drivers. That is
only the case if I install Nvidia drivers from the repos. If I install
them from that .run script that we can download from Nvidia web site, I
can just start gdm and X, and I can use new drivers without restarting
my PC.
So, I'm asking you to enable that again, or tell me how can I use new
installed drivers without restarting my PC?
Thanks.
