I run a GeForce II MX here with exactly this driver and pre6 - and have no problem at all. I tried both driver version 1251 and 1541, and both work. Of course I do not back the manufacturers' religion "we don't wanna show people how we managed to make a kernel driver 800kB of size". Only I believe this is no real loss, as nobody wants to follow this god anyway. :-) Regards, Stephan - 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/
