New issue by hesifwood on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/14377

Description:
### System
Void Linux running with NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 gpu on proprietary drivers. I installed the `nvidia` package when setting up.

* xuname:  
  Void 5.2.13_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFF
* package:  
  linux5.2-5.2.13_1, nvidia-430.14_2

### Expected behavior
Being able to get proper resolution like before on 4.19 and open `nvidia-settings` without errors after upgrading to Linux 5.2

### Actual behavior
When GRUB booted to 5.2, the resolution was not like before and running nvidia-settings showed me this error:
```
$ nvidia-settings

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded


ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
```

lxrandr was showing resolution 1024x768 under 5.2 and 1366x768 under 4.19.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

- I upgraded recently with `sudo xbps-install -Syu`
- I had standard Void install, so it automatically installed Linux 5.2 (probably due to [this change](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/f42111e9a4deb78c71e30f274f018d20e1b69ee1))
- When I did a reboot it booted into 5.2 and the screen resolution was not ok and nvidia-settings was showing error

I [posted on reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/d26b25/void_is_booting_into_linux_52_and_nvidia_module/) and got the solution:

```
sudo sh -c "xbps-install -f nvidia-dkms ; depmod -a"
```

Afterwards a reboot made it work fine again. Resolution came back to normal and nvidia-settings was launching without errors. So should this be automatically running somehow? Or if not possible, maybe showing a post-install message would be a good idea?
