Andreas,
How do you handle the situation where you are running the nvidia driver on
the normal kernel and then boot to the lts kernel? The kernel boots fine, but
X is dead, presumably because the nvidia driver isn't compiled against that
kernel and laughs when you tell it to start. Any way of having a separate
driver in the lts kernel module tree? To do that would you just install the
nvidia driver again while the lts kernel is running and have it get put in the
right place?
I guess so, I'll give it a go tomorrow. If that sounds like a really bad
idea, let me know. Thanks.
Sounds like a bad idea to me. As Andreas indicated, the intended use of
the lts kernel is for servers, in order to let them avoid frequent
kernel upgrades. It'd be a huge amount more work for him to provide
desktop-oriented modules for that kernel as well (e.g., various video
cards, various wireless network cards, virtualbox, etc.)
