Re: [Cooker] beta4 and NVidia drivers
That is correct for the Nvidia binary driver when you're using devfs. If not using devfs, the added line would read:- alias char-major-195 NVdriver On Tue, 2002-08-27 at 01:34, Thierry Vignaud wrote: Aurélien Bompard [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: From a fresh cooker install, I had to add alias /dev/nvidia* NVdriver manually to /etc/modules.conf is this ok ? --- ./devfsd.conf.usbmouse 2002-08-26 17:32:35.0 +0200 +++ ./devfsd.conf 2002-08-26 17:33:12.0 +0200 @@ -57,6 +57,9 @@ # ALSA stuff #LOOKUPsnd MODLOAD ACTION snd +# Nvidia driver +alias /dev/nvidia* NVdriver + # Uncomment this to let PAM manage devfs REGISTER .* CFUNCTION /lib/security/pam_console_apply_devfsd.so pam_console_apply_single $devpath -- - Antony Suter (sutera internode on net) Exner - Tools to make tools.

Yes, no problems at all (if you mean the nvidia binary drivers in the NVIDIA_kernel package). I get a bunch of #error message (that comes from /usr/include/linux/version.h). If you would have read that messages, you would understand why it doesn't work. The headers in kernel-headers are not suited for compiling kernel modules. You need the headers of your kernel, they are in kernel-source package. BTW, it seems the kernel_headers version does not match the installed kernel version. Is it OK ? Yes. The kernel-headers have to match the kernel that is installed when building the glibc. That's why rpm -qi kernel-headers gives you glibc as the source package.

Re: [Cooker] beta4 and NVidia drivers
Hi ! Installed beta4 yesterday on 2 machines, everything went smoothly, every piece of hardware correctly detected except : - scanner (agfa snapscan e25) not supported by scannerdrake, but just needs 2 lines in a config file. - webcam, correctly detected, but associated program defaults to XawTV (seems a bit weird to me ;*) Did anyone succeed in compiling the NVidia geforce driver ? I get a bunch of #error message (that comes from /usr/include/linux/version.h). BTW, it seems the kernel_headers version does not match the installed kernel version. Is it OK ? Thanx a lot ! Rod.

I don't think so. It looks just right so I applied it to /etc/devfs.conf and rebooted. There was a warning about the position of that line in the file (I wish I could remember more) and devfs blew up. I couldn't see any of my disks so I rebooted into my gentoo partition and undid the edit.
