[Bug 287006] [NEW] intrepid: DKMS, nice try but fails

2008-10-21 Thread Sam Williams
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dkms DKMS is a clever idea and it would be really useful if it worked flawlessly. I have again been burned by an upgrade problem that seems to target only some users of nvidia hardware. The bug had aleady been reported so I won't go into it here, however

I'm sorry, but what is the actual bug with dkms here? Its task is not for modifying conf files, but for building kernel modules. Jockey is the tool which will modify your xorg conf. Can you please elaborate on what your expectation out of dkms is then? On 10/21/2008, Sam Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED
