Dear Maintainer,

I ran into issues trying to install the nvidia driver on debian 13 rt.
I followed the instructions on the debian wiki for the installation.
After installing, running `dkms status` would say that the driver was
installed.
But when I rebooted the computer, the driver would not load. After some
troubleshooting,
I found out that the driver was installed for a regular kernel but not for
an rt kernel.
I fixed it by purging the drivers, installing `cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb`
from
https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian13/x86_64/ ,
updating apt, then installing the drivers.

I made a post on the nvidia dev forums here:
