nvidia driver has to be manually loaded

[Kristof Vansant]

k I found it I think :) the problem is that there is no 
crw-rw----    1 root     video    195,   0 Oct 13 01:22 nvidia0
crw-rw----    1 root     video    195, 255 Oct 13 01:22 nvidiactl
in /dev untill you load the module manual.

solution:

add to /etc/udev/links.conf:

M nvidia0 c 195 0
M nvidia1 c 195 1
M nvidiactl c 195 255

The M creates device nodes using /sbin/MAKEDEV

I think :)

should the nvidia package place this in the udev list or should udev
package it self contain this by default?
