Automatically Recompile AUR Module on Kernel Update?
I'm using acpi_call-git from the AUR to turn off my NVidia graphics card on my Optimus laptop.
It works great, but it breaks every time there is a kernel update.
I have to recompile and reinstall the package, and then reboot again.
Is there a more convenient way to get this done? I've tried recompiling before rebooting on a kernel update, but the compilation inevitably fails.
Any advice would be appreciated.

yes there is a dkms version in the AUR. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54641
It will automatically recompile the module when a new kernel is installed. "dkms_autoinstaller" will need to be added to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf

How exactly does dkms work as a daemon?
