Sue,

I have the following 4 lines in /etc/rc.local:

if [ ! -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ]; then
echo "installing NVIDIA kernel module. This takes some time."
/root/NVIDIA.run --no-network -s -K -n
fi

This automagically recompiles the module after a kernel update. Works like a
charm on all NVIDIA machines here.
The only requirement is that /root/NVIDIA.run is a symbolic link to the
propietary NVIDIA binary distribution package, which in addition has to be made
executable, using "chmod +x".

HTH,

Kay
