Re-install is required on each kernel update #22

Closed JonathanPorta closed 9 years ago

I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if this is normal. Every kernel update requires me to rebuild, re-install, and reload this module. Otherwise, once the machine goes to sleep/suspend/hibernate, when it comes back on the backlight will be either 100% on or completely off.

It is not hard at all to do the re-install, but I was just wondering if I was missing something obvious.

Thanks again for making this!

Unfortunately that's what you have to do if you compile out-of-tree drivers. Unless you hook it up so your distro rebuilds and reinstalls it when you install a new kernel (eg. DKMS).

That's what I thought, but just wanted to double check. Thanks!
