But..... it's how DKMS infrastructure *works*! When you install a
standard nvidia or flgrx driver, the module must be built (very little
compiling, because everyone knows that nvidia/flgrx drivers are
bundled with a big binary blob) for each kernel you install, generic
ubuntu kernels too; to avoid this, DKMS was created [1] so it performs
the build phase for you without user intervention. I don't want to be
too much critic but this bug report is VERY clear: the matter is just
to understand why some symbols are GPL only in the -rt kernel
headers/source that aren't in the generic. Please, don't misunderstand
it a third time.
