Hello list,
after switching to 2.6.11-rc5-bk2 (from 2.6.9-rc2), I found that the nvidia
module (1.0-4996, old, I know) does not compile anymore, because it
requires pci_find_class():
nv.c:
static int
nvos_probe_devices(void)
{
...
struct pci_dev *dev;
...
dev = pci_find_class(PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA << 8, dev);
...
}
What function would I need to use, now that pci_find_class is gone?

Hi!
you have to use pci_get_class (). But have a look at the patches for
6111 on my webiste:

I use 4996 because it uses four times less kernel memory than 6111. (And on
top, 6111 does not give me any performance improvements over 4996.)

What's the patch doing?
I do not use AGPGART/DRI - no performance plus either.
