Public bug reported:
nvidia-modprobe allows non-root users to load NVIDIA kernel modules and it
creates the respective device entries. This is important for CUDA users as they
would otherwise have to run a workaround script to load the kernel modules and
create the device entries. This is documented here:
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/6_5/rel/docs/CUDA_Getting_Started_Linux.pdf
-> 4.8 Verification
Because of this newer nvidia-graphics-drivers packages (331 and newer)
should at least recommend nvidia-modprobe. Furthermore the nvidia-
modprobe is not available from xorg-edgers. Utopic includes an nvidia-
modprobe package though.
** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 (Ubuntu)
