Greetings;
All of a sudden it seems I cannot find the option that makes a kernel build
include the build and install of
/lib/modules/2.6.36/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
It built for 2.6.33.7-pclos with this config grep for NVIDIA
[root@coyote src]# grep NVIDIA linux-2.6.33.7-pclos1/.config
CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=m
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C=y
# CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_MBP_NVIDIA=m
But not for this:
[root@coyote src]# grep NVIDIA linux-2.6.36/.config
CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=m
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C=y
# CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_BACKLIGHT=y
# CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_MBP_NVIDIA is not set
Anyone have a clue they can spare?
Thanks.

There is no option for that module, neither in 2.6.33 nor in 2.6.36,
because that module is not part of any kernel from kernel.org.
Nvidia's closed-source driver is evil, so do *not* click on this link:
