==============================
if [ ! -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ]; then
echo "installing NVIDIA kernel module. This takes some time."
/root/NVIDIA.run --no-network -s -K -n
fi
==============================
And this removes the requirement for all the keyboard input? Neat. Otherwise
my next question was going to be "Whats a good keylogger for linux so I could
record all those keystrokes and play them back". istanbul came to mind, but
on reading its description in the smart gui, that didn't sound like what I
wanted to do.
And its done since I'll probably reboot to Con K's latest scheduler ck patch
in the morning, which will test this if not before for a few hours. He just
released another for 2.6.22 a few hours ago.
