hello list,
i installed a 'non-free' driver from the nvidia website in kernel
2.6.8-2-386.
[sh /home/steef/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run]
dmesg gives me the following unwholesome message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg | grep nv
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
what evil, if any, can come out of this installation?
Taints it with P for Proprietary options. You cannot use any debugging output
from that kernel with the kernel developers and not expect them to dismiss it
as a tainted kernel.
hi paul,
got rid of the nvidia-driver. like freesoftware more than 3D.
