Then you should be using the rpm from rpmforge that also installs the
dkms hooks so you _don't_ have to rebuild every time you install a new
kernel. I've been doing this for over a year, and it has been
completely flawless and seamless. I use CentOS, too.
You mean the beta? When I last tried this, it did load dkms. It
was a disaster. I reported it to this mail list at the
time. If I am remembering correctly, the response back was
that it was beta code and to be expected.
Does rpmforge have general release in our future?
[...@rhun ~]# rpm -q dkms
dkms-2.0.20.4-1.el5.rf
[...@rhun ~]# rpm -q --qf '%{url}\n' dkms
http://linux.dell.com/dkms/
[...@rhun ~]# lynx -dump http://linux.dell.com/dkms/ | head -4
DKMS
The latest stable version is: 2.0.20.4
Cool! I do believe that DKMS was the problem the
last time I tried the beta.
Any sign of a general release nvidia-x11-drv in our
future? Can we use the SPRM from FC9?
