We have a bunch of computers controlling equipment that run on Centos 5. We also need to use the proprietary Nvidia driver, the default nv driver doesn't work correctly with some software we need.
Just installing the proprietary driver with the installation script from the Nvidia homepage works fine, until a kernel update takes place. Then I have some confused users calling me because X doesn't start anymore.
The solution to that issue was to install the Nvidia driver with dkms enabled. This solved the issue and the driver is properly updated along with the kernel as far as I can tell so far. But it caused a new issue, starting Firefox with the dkms-enabled driver crashes the X server.
Both versions are far from ideal, having to babysit each kernel update and install the driver again is seriously annoying. Firefox crashing X is even worse.
What is the current, recommended way to install the proprietary NVidia driver on the latest Centos 5 in a way that survives kernel updates?
