Take the nvidia 0.9-5 tarballs. Unpack<br> them. Apply this patch (attached patch < patch... from within the<br> NVIDIA_kernel directory):<br> <br> Okay, if you try to compile it complains about some unmap stuff. <br> <br> Open nv.c<br> <br> Go to line 860. Remove all the lines from and including the else<br> expression. Go some lines up and remove the if expression looking for<br> the right kernel version. Now, you have the declaration for the 2.4.0<br> kernel, right. <br> <br> Save and exit<br> <br> Now do a make.<br> <br> For beeing sure copy the NVdriver to /lib/modules/2.4.0/video/NVdriver<br> <br> Try a modprobe NVdriver. With a lsmod it should appear now. Okay no<br> configure X and glx as before.<br> <br> Works perfectly on my system<br> <br> Enjoy<br> <br> Marcel<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ________________________________________________________________________<br> <br> Marcel Weber <br> mmweber@ncpro.com <br> http://www.ncpro.com <br> <br> <br> Made and sent with Linux </pre><br>
