Description:
If you want your nvidia module to be rebuilt automatically, this would require (according to the wiki [1]): * installing nvidia-hook from AUR [2] * adding the nvidia hook to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf If you want to install nvidia-hook, this throws the error that nvidia-dkms is not installed, while I have nvidia-340xx-dkms installed. If you run 'mkinitcpio -p linux', the nvidia module cannot be built because the hook cannot be found. Additional info: * package version(s) Fully updated Archlinux 64bit I'm not sure if there's any other added functionality to dkms than to have your kernelmodules rebuilt automatically for you, but if there isn't, it looks rather silly to have separate *-dkms-packages if this functionality is not working :) - please correct me if I'm wrong, the instructions in the wiki are not 100% clear to me.
