If so, you need some patches. 1) Get the 4363 drivers from NVidia's download site. 2) run './NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run --extract-only' 3) Get the current 4363 patch from www.minion.de 4) 'cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363/usr/src/nv' 5) patch -p1 < /path/to/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4363-2.6.diff 6) cp Makefile.nvidia Makefile 7) boot -test1-mm2 *SINGLE USER* 8) login as root and 'cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363', then 9) 'make install' (I'm typing this on a C840 running -test1-mm2 and the NVidia drivers, so I know it can be made to work). --==_Exmh_-408219322P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE/Gw11cC3lWbTT17ARAsLFAJ9tZIKfPvFoDjwW5xgtbXsIj0m6swCglscY uZ6JNOMfj/7Cwj304F/0D8Y= =7dp9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-408219322P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
