Subject: kdev_t changes cause NVdriver compile failure?

Hallo,

I have upgraded from 2.4.18pre1 to 2.5.2-pre10.
Now my NVdriver doesn't compile anymore. I know, you don't want to deal with
third-party object drivers.

My knowledge is poor, but by investigating through nv.c from
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2313 and linux kernel headers I found relations to kdev_t
and I also have seen that there have been changes in latest kernel
pre-patches.

Might this be related?

Thank you very much, I'm missing X very much:)

Hallo,

I forgot the error output:

rm -f nv.o os-interface.o os-registry.o Module-linux nv_compiler.h NVdriver

It happens both with gcc version 3.0.4 20020108 (prerelease) and
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE).
