It would zap x11-drm's modules if they were installed under the usual location (/lib/modules/KV/kernel/drivers/char/drm). However, the package installs them into /lib/modules/KV/x11-drm instead. This ensures that full kernel module rebuilds do not zap the package's modules. Unfortunately, this requires that there be no modules installed by the kernel, because it would then prefer the kernel's modules over the x11-drm modules when the user tries to load them. I hope that clarifies things for you. Please reopen if you're seeing behavior that contradicts me. Thanks. Yes, now it is clear. It would be nice if the einfo() would at least link to your explanation in comment #1. |
