Me built it almost like so.
#telinit 3 #sh nvidia-linux-version-number #then you get a text gui #he let it build the kernel module #then it asks do you want to me to update you xorg.conf. #selected yes
selected no. I always edit xorg.conf by hand anyway, and I never let any installer do any editing.
#thats it #reboot #rebuild it again on the next kernel update.
No, you don't have to. Update the kernel, and the module from the previous kernel automagically gets copied to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/weak-updates/
This is also true for some other modules I build by hand, like rt61.ko. So no need to use DKMS :oD
