.. but this is a Bad Thing when it comes to nvdia, because the next time
you reboot, X won't start for a few days. In fact, most kmdls are
pretty important for day-to-day operations. Clearly I can see how
someone else would want it to work the way you designed it, but that SO
doesn't work for me.
But thanks for explaining it.
