I don't have a link but I've read somewhere on debian wiki that if you install Nvidia driver that is downloaded from nvidia website
then it's mandatory to reinstall the driver every time you upgrade your kernel because the driver is bound to one kernel only.
Today I got kernel update from backports so I followed this advice to avoid bricking my system and it works fine.
Sadly I couldn't test this because if I did I might not be able to boot into the new kernel, and I've only now figured out I could boot into old kernel but it's too late to test it.
What I'm asking is, is this true?
Would I be able to boot into the new kernel if I didn't reinstall the driver for the new kernel?
