Dear fellow Fedora users,
I was having trouble playing DVD's with Fedora on a Quad Core machine, and I decided to install the nvidia driver from rpmfusion and it has cured the problem :), thanks to those guys for the work they do.
Now I decide to update the kernel to a newer one, will I have to
# yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE
again versus the new kernel, or will the update to the new kernel automagcially fix the driver against the new kernel.
I really don't understand the kmod and/or dkms part of the drivers. I have seen similar things for the modems like the 11c11040 drivers. When I update to a new kernel, I manually update the modem drivers, but apparently when one uses the dkms/kmod code the work is done automagically.
Regards,
Antonio
