Nvidia ships binary module (already compiled) but also sources some kind of "kernel interface to binary module" which must be recompiled every time you build new kernel.Hi everybody, I am building custom kernels using "make-kpkg" command - the debian way, everything works great even my nVidia propriatery driver. And this nvidia module confuses me so much. When I build my kernel with standard "make", and install it as it is expected there is no nvidia module in my /usr/lib/kernel-ver directory and not surprisingly simply copying this driver from older kernel to a new one doesn't work as well. That should be helpful for you:I wonder how can this nVidia binary driver still work if I compile my kernel with "make-kpkg"?
