 |

it gives:
| Quote: | emerge nvidia-kernel
Calculating dependencies ...done!

nv.c: In function `nv_kern_open':

!!! ERROR: media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r3 failed.

!!! (no error message)
|
the error occurs in line 1877:
len += sprintf(page+len, "%s\n", NV_PCI_DEVICE_NAME(dev));
if I comment that line and compile it wont load the module (dmesg gives:
| Quote: | nvidia: no version magic, tainting kernel.
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
nvidia: Unknown symbol kdev_val
|
Now I've heard this older version doens't have the problems with broken graphics when switching to console and back, hwo can I get this to work? Help appreciated.
thx and cya

you need to change the /usr/src/linux link to point to the source of the 2.6 kernel you are using to get the nvidia driver to install.

Negative that is not necesarry.
I have all my 2.6X kernel source in my home dir (like the kernel README recommends and no sym-link to /usr/src/linux)
| Code: | INSTALLING the kernel:
- If you install the full sources, put the kernel tarball in a
directory where you have permissions (eg. your home directory) and
unpack it:
gzip -cd linux-2.6.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Replace "XX" with the version number of the latest kernel.
Do NOT use the /usr/src/linux area! This area has a (usually
incomplete) set of kernel headers that are used by the library header
files. They should match the library, and not get messed up by
whatever the kernel-du-jour happens to be. |
Have you booted into your new kernel?
You must be in your new kernel, then install the NVIDIA_kernel. |

| It's not going to work, because no one has updated the patch included in the 4363 ebuilds for the newer 2.6.0-test versions. You could try manually installing it, using the .run file and the 2.6 patch (search the fora for minion.de to find it's location). |

thx mike, I already had figured the problem in the outdated 4363 ebuild; found the patches - and a new 4620 beta. Does that one fix anything or need I go back to 4363?
and, of course I am running the kernel already.
regards
