Hello,
yes I know, you don't like modules without full sources available.
But Nvidia is the leading vendor of video cards and all 2.4.x
kernels up to 2.4.13-pre5 work nice with this module.
Running pre6 I get
(==) NVIDIA(0): Write-combining range (0xf0000000,0x2000000)
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate LUT context DMA
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
This is Nvidia's 1.0-1541 version of its Linux drivers
Please keep this driver going during the 2.4.x series of the
kernel if at all possible.
Thanks for looking into it,

you're talking to the wrong forum

Umm.. 2.4.13-final came out in Oct 2001. You might want to consider
moving to a more recent 2.4 (2.4.28 came out about 2 months ago).

Similarly - current is 1.0-6629.
Both the kernel and NVidia have fixed *many* bugs and issues since then....

Looks like someone flushed a stuck mail queue from 2001. I wonder what
else was in there? It's like archeology!

That is quite the request, support both an old 2.4 kernel and a similarly
geriatric nvidia driver. If you prefer 2.4.13 why not just go back to a
working 2.4.13-pre?
