So you upgrade the driver and libaries and suddenly your system fails
until you reboot? Okay, I could imaging NVidia doing something like
tying libraries to kernel modules. At least in the past they replaced
gl libraries that did not longer work with X forwarding.
Could you please name the culprit, or is this just a theoretical
problem?
However what if the new driver does not build with the old kernel?
There are endless possibilities to break this. Which ones are important
and can be supported?
