I'll do that - trouble is round where I am they dish out Nvidia cards like confetti, I've got them in the machine I use most and another 2 and you have to do all that gyrating with running the script to FTP down and build the secret module before you can run X. This is a big disincentive when it comes to installing new kernels. I wish some kind soul would speak nicely to Nvidia and get them to see reason on the point but I suspect I'm not the first person to wish that. (Or is there a sneaky way of patching the modules so they'll work in another kernel without tainting it?).
