I have a script which calls the latest version of the driver installer only if it can't find a version of the driver for the running kernel. If it does it runs the installer with the -a -s -X options to build and configure X if not done already. Yes, I used to automate that way on my systems. However, the advantage with the kmod package from ELRepo is that it is kernel version-independent, kABI-tracking, meaning it survives kernel updates transparently and it does not require development software such as gcc. ELRepo keeps the Nvidia version up to date. OK, too much advertisement. :-P Akemi
