@xnox:

Upon investigation, and per our conversation on IRC, I did some experimenting with the prebuilt modules. Unfortunately, these use llvmpipe and don't interface well with nvidia-settings.

Using ubuntu-drivers to install the drivers used *the exact same mechanism* as installing nvidia-drivers-470 directly, but also configured our systems to use the hybrid graphics mode, which has been known to cause performance issues on our branded CLEVO chassis computers especially when connected to external displays.

Your suggestions were good, but in this instance they don't make a whole lot of sense. I do, however, understand your reluctance to rebuild all initramfs for each kernel as it might break things. I feel as though we can probably close this bug as your rationale is sound, and the mechanism we have works for our customers.
