I was suggesting they are compiled on reboot, or perhaps when X shuts 
down. This could be done by tweaking the ?dm init scripts. It is just 
that it is really annoying to have X not start up every so often because 
the NVidia driver was dispelled, but the new one couldn't be installed. 
The other option as I see it would be to patch the spell so that it 
doesn't try the rmmmod or modprobe that fails (it tries to install the 
new module into the kernel, but if X is running, it is in use).
