I know this is a bit off-topic, but as we're talking about rebuilding the drivers for new kernels: - has anyone written - or is aware of such a solution: a script that during booting - checks whether the nVidia-driver is present - rebuilds it unattended, if it is not so that the user always gets a graphic login, even after kernel-updates. I'm aware that rebuilding kernel-modules without human supervision is not a good idea, but rebuilding the graphics-driver on a number of workstations after each kernel-update is annoying (especially if you can't do it on all of them at the same time, because people are ... working on them) I know, that the script should not be hard to write, but I don't want to duplicate any work that has been done before (especially if there is a "standard"-way of doing this, which I was to stupid to find)
