#60343 — nVidia drivers for kernel 3.2.96-3 (3.0.2-5)

Hello,

Just dist-upgraded my Wheezy to install the latest security kernel 
(meltdown and spectre patched) and noticed the nvidia kernel driver was
not updated accordingly leaving the X server unable to load the driver 
(black screen).

linux-image-3.2.0-5-amd64 (3.2.96-3) [security] 
nvidia-kernel-3.2.0-4-amd64 (304.131+1+1+3.2.73-2) [non-free] 

Is this an expected behaviour (no more nvidia kernel updates for 
old-old-stable releases) or I can expect to be solved in the next days?

Cheers,

(BBC'ed the kernel list, please keep this on the pkg-nvidia-devel list)

Use the DKMS package rather than the binary modules package, so that
the oot kernel modules are rebuilt dynamically when the kernel is
updated:

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms
