The kernel is installed, not updated. It does not load the new kernel until a reboot occurs so if you watch for the update in the yum.log then you can do the reboot and driver update at your convenience.
I can do that, you can do that.
The "ordinary users" I have can't. :-(
Some of them have dualboot machines, and therefore reboot regularly.
Hm, I'll guess it would be easier to stick with the files from nvidia and make a script that is run during boot that builds and installs the kernel module, if necessary.
Yes, and after your users have tested it a while, how about submitting it as a RFE for the livna packages? It sounds useful.
I have something like that already, but never finished it nor included it in the nvidia or ati livna packages. If people are interested in it and (most important!) help testing I'm going to work on this further.
I'm not using any such package now (don't do 3D games), but I do have an (old) ATI card (Radeon 7000/VE) in my machine. As I'm willing to volunteer the time of others, I suppose I could test an ATI package on my machine if that would be useful. Let me know.
Won't be very useful because the ati-fglrx packages need a Radeon 8500 or above.
