"When you remake a new nvidia module" what does that mean?

Does that "taint" the kernel?  I've wondered what that means.  I
installed nvidia binaries onto a suse 9.3 system and remember that
expression.

  Based on usage of ATI, Intel, and nVidia, your best bet would be
nvidia, using the binary driver.  Yes, depending on your distro, it
may get annoying to have to remake a new nvidia module when you
upgrade your kernel, but performance and stability is best in that
configuration.
