The nvidia module depends on them, so it doesn't build anymore on amd64. Is an experimental new nvidia-kernel-source version fixing this available somewhare? Or, as an alternative, does any kernel guru know how to replace the calls to these functions in the nvidia kernel module to use the new kernel API? I am working on it. 173.08 builds fine with 2.6.25 so if nothing else I can compare 169.12 with 173.08 and see what nvidia changed to get around the change. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

That patch does NOT compile for me with 2.6.25-2-amd64 which just entered Debian unstable. I made a patch based on 173.08's changes which does compile. It's a bit longer than the patch mentioned in that bug report but apparently the extra changes are relevant to some things. So it might have been fine for 2.6.25-1 but isn't good enough for 2.6.25-2. -- LeN Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: nvidia-kernel modules and 2.6.25?
Someone have a prepacked debian way version with that patch and this work with 2.6.25-2-amd64 too... it's stable enough 173.08? anyone have this debian way packed?

Well nvidia still lists 169.12 as the current stable version. I am not quite sure what they think 173.08 is, other than a driver that also happens to support 9xxx series cards and 2.6.25 kernel. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I do, running on my mtytv box for testing. I was trying to see if it helped the seg fault problem on my 8600GT, although I have found out that problem is caused by using nvidia's libwfb rather than xorg's libwfb so that will be fixed in the 169.12 package soon (I hope). No issues with the 173.08 driver in the first 30 hours though. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
