Here is an updated patch to the binary-only drivers provided by NVIDIA
(version 1.0-3123) for kernel 2.5.40. I have tested it for both 2D and
3D and it seems to work fine. (Warcraft III under linux 2.5.40 should
be a good enough test, no?)
I have not tested their NVAGP under 2.5.40. If in doubt use the
kernel's agpgart driver and:
Option "NvAGP" "2"
to tell the NVIDIA driver not to use its internal NVAGP driver.
This patch is based on a patch previously posted by Roberto Nibali. I
place my contributions to this patch under the GPL. NVIDIA may not use
this code without prior written consent from me.

Whoops, thought I fixed that one...
Revised patch attached.
P.S. It's not my fault. That typo was in Roberto's patch. ;)

You're a funny guy. While I don't care what happens to this patch
because I took it from Andrea Arcangeli (IIRC), I am not so sure what
exactly you mean by "I place my contributions to this patch under the
GPL". But I don't care either. I only hope people are not bugging you
for any breakage. ;)
I think NVIDIA would have the right to take portions of this patch
wheter you like it or not. I don't think they want to, however.

It doesn't really matter, it's for 2.5.x anyway. Besides that it should
actually be called rage ;).
Best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz

oh yeah...that...
I forgot I made a link from arch/i386/mach-generic/irq_vectors.h to
include/asm/irq_vectors.h.
The above error is in include/asm/irq.h and not a problem with the
nvidia driver itself. (poke poke kernel maintainers)
