+- A real-life example

+- Integration

+[[https://github.com/dell/dkms][Dynamic kernel module support]] (DKMS) is a feature that allows installation of kernel modules while reinstalling the kernel.
+This is preferable if you don't want to build and install kernel modules every kernel update.
+
+Oftentimes to build the kernel module, it is required to install Linux-related headers.
+
+Here's an example scenario where I want to install [[https://github.com/jlam55555/veikk-linux-driver/issues/43][Veikk tablet driver]] that is not available out-of-the-box.
+The following list is the summarized version of what should happen.
+
+- Download the source code of the kernel module.
+- Check if the Linux headers are available otherwise the kernel module cannot be built.
+- Place the kernel module source into the kernel source tree (e.g., =/usr/src=).
+- Create =dkms.conf= to tell where the module is to be built.
+- Install the module with ~dkms~.
+
+The most difficult out of the steps is configuring with =dkms.conf=.
+You can see the format and the available options from =dkms.8= manual page.
+For now, let's see the example configuration.
+
+#+begin_src shell  :results silent
+PACKAGE_NAME="input-veikk"
+PACKAGE_VERSION="git"
+BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="veikk" # (ref:module-name)
+DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/extra/"
+AUTOINSTALL="yes"
+#+end_src
+
+This tells ~dkms~ to install the Veikk driver, packaged as =input-veikk= with version =git=, in =extra/= (e.g., =/lib/modules/@LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION@/extra=).
+When installed, you should see a module named [[(module-name)][=veikk=]] — e.g., see the module list with =lsmod=.
+
+With the setup complete, run ~dkms install -m input-veikk -v git~ and it should be effective immediately.
