[rhn-users] Kernel Update Question About 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL

[Donna Dierker]

Lee,

If you have an NVIDIA card, then you might find this site helpful:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

After every kernel upgrade, I need to run 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run as root to rebuild the nvidia 
driver.  There's a way to make this automatic, but I don't have it 
working on all my hosts.
