I am probably a bit further than you in this pursuit and while I still haven't found how to get AGP working correctly, I have gotten the drivers to work in PCI mode and I can give you some information based on my experience so far. There is, BTW, a good HOW-TO on the LTSP web site that is a little outdated but a good starting point.
http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/nvidia.txt I found that I had to build a kernel to get my NVidia driver to compile correctly. So, go get a fresh 2.4.9 kernel source, use the instructions in the LTSP document to build a kernel, modules and do a 'make modules_install'. Here are my notes: o Get kernel source for LTSP distro o Use config file from ltsp_initrd_kit o make kernel (even though you aren't going to use it) make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install o Get NVidia kernel modules src and build with : make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.9/include NVdriver Note : I had to redefine an unresolved snprintf to sprintf to get this to compile ?!? o Copy this to target location (like this): cp NVdriver /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.4.9-ltsp-5/kernel/drivers/video/NVdriver.o o Perform a depmod something like depmod -b /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.4.9-ltsp-5 \ -C /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/conf.modules\ -F /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-ltsp/... I couldn't get this to work. In this case, just edit /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.4.9-ltsp-5/modules.dep and add the line : /lib/modules/2.4.9-ltsp-5/kernel/drivers/video/NVdriver.o: (a bit sloppy, I know) o edit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf and add : MODULE_02 = NVdriver o Now, the LTSP scheme for building an XF86config file doesn't work with the Nvidia Xserver. So... /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/XF86config-4 MUST exist. To get it right, I took the following steps: - Boot with the default XF86config file. - From a serial terminal connection, cat the /tmp/XF86Config file to the screen and do a cut-and-paste to /tmp/XF86config-4 on the server. Note : You need rsh and LOCAL_APPS to do this step unless you have your own way of getting a shell on the DC. - Copy /tmp/XF86config-4 to <ltsp_root>/etc/X11/XF86config-4 - Edit <ltsp_root>/etc/X11/XF86config-4 and change "nv" to "nvidia" o Add the NVIDIA_GLX files needed - On the server rpm -q NVIDIA_GLX --list > /tmp/temp - Edit /tmp/temp and remove all unecessary files (/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA..) remove leading '/'. - Tar and untar % cd / % tar cvf /tmp/nv.tar `cat /tmp/temp` % cd <ltsp_root> % tar xvf /tmp/nv.tar - Make all the right links : % cd <ltsp_root>/usr/lib % ln -s libGL.so.1.0.2313 libGL.so.1 % ln -s libGLcore.so.1.0.2313 libGLcore.so.1 % cd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions % mv libglx.a libglx.a.nonnv % ln -s libglx.so.1.0.2313 libglx.so Piece of cake, eh?
