    Nvidia drivers and kernel issues

    I would like to know what can be done when you have a Nvidia driver installed (say, you used EnvyNG) and you have the proprietary driver but you want to upgrade/update? the kernel.

    Is there any instructions, how-to's and/or links that describe what is required so you can avoid borking X. I'm not sure what you need to do when X is screwed up but I'd rather not have to fix it each time I do something with the kernel.

    Oh yeah, I forget the command to check your kernel version and/or kernel headers. Can anyone provide it?

    Is it something like?:
    uname -r

    ?

    Re: Nvidia drivers and kernel issues

    If you used EnvyNG, then you don't have any reason to fear the dreaded kernel upgrade, and resultant broken video driver. After the kernel upgrade, you boot "Recovery Mode" of the new kernel, and at the root prompt you enter

    Code:
    envyng -t
    and you're soon back in business. 8)
