[Cooker] nVidia drivers and Cooker-8.1
Hi. I will try to send this also to nVidia people. Please, could somebody in Mandrake ask nVidia to rebuild the drivers for XFree4.1 ? I still do not understand how they work. They have even undefined symbols: (II) LoadModule: nvidia (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o (II) Module nvidia: vendor=NVIDIA Corporation compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.1512 Module class: XFree86 Video Driver ... (II) Module ramdac: vendor=The XFree86 Project compiled for 4.1.0.1, module version = 0.1.0 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.4 Symbol xf86PrintEDID from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol xf86InterpretEDID from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o is unresolved! (II) do I need RAC? No, I don't. Damned closed source *g* -- J.A.

Re: [Cooker] nVidia drivers and Cooker-8.1
I figured it was 4.1.0 that was messing me up. I installed the latest nVidia drivers on Mdk8.0 updated to Freq2 and it has a fit every time I close an OpenGL app. (Takes XF86 out with it.) J . A .

No, I don't. Why do you want this ? Do you think of people who have XFree 4.1.0 ? as the driver works, I can't see where is the problem. The problem seems to come from you.

I had that result before, but with the new driver patched for devfs, I had no glitch when stopping FlightGear. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux 8.1 beta Cooker kernel-2.4.8-19 vers:1.568

Would you trust on a kernel module built for 2.4.0 and loaded under 2.4.9 ? I see this is the same. as the driver works, I can't see where is the problem. The problem seems to come from you. What did you use ? Yes, I know It works, doesn't it ? So shut up. Yes, It works for me. But, as being binary-only, the best that nVidia can do is supply binaries for all both versions of X, even if it is only to make people a bit more happy. I do not ask drivers are in XFree upworths compatible. So a driver that works in XF4.0 should also work in XF4.5 There is not a real big difffernts between XF4.0.2 and XF4.1 so no need for to different drivers. With the kernel there is no quarantee between different versions. So seeing a driver work on linux-2.4.8 and linux-2.4.9 is not garanteed. to support a pre-release-beta version of anything. I ask for support for the CURRENT version of XFree. It is so difficult to take it and rebuild ? -- J.A.

[Cooker] nvidia drivers for cooker
To clarify the situation NVIDIA drivers packaged specifically for cooker are available at: http://crazy-horse.net/cooker You need the following files: NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769_2.4.2-20mdk.i686.rpm (.98mb) NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769_2.4.2-20mdk.i686.rpm (243k) README.NVIDIA (676 bytes) and a sample XF86Config-4 these will be kept up to date with kernel changes in cooker. The extension 2.4.2-20mdk should tell you which kernel they are designed to work with. Enjoy Con. __ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au
