Description Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-07 09:57:08 UTC 
desktop.xml said the opposite and I have been told on #gentoo-dev that you should re-emerge nvidia-kernel after a kernel recompile.
If it turns out it is the other way around, desktop.xml will have to be updated accordingly.

Being a Matrox G-* fan, I need someone with nvidia experience to review. Thanks.

I've always heard that kernel _re_compilations don't require a recompilation of the nvidia-kernel. I wouldn't know why it would either. When a new kernel is compiled that changes the situation.

I deliberately don't buy NVidia graphical cards so I'm not 100% confident either.

I do agree that the alsa-guide shouldn't talk about the nvidia kernel...

Remove note about nvidia

Please review trivial patch. It simply removes the note about nvidia.
Do we all agree on its removal?
Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-14 16:44:48 UTC 
I can certainly agree on it.
