This is important for CUDA users as they would otherwise have to run a workaround script to load the kernel modules and create the device entries. This is documented here: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/6_5/rel/docs/CUDA_Getting_Started_Linux.pdf -> 4.8 Verification Because of this newer nvidia-graphics-drivers packages (331 and newer) should at least recommend nvidia-modprobe. Furthermore the nvidia- modprobe is not available from xorg-edgers. Utopic includes an nvidia- modprobe package though.
