Re: [newbie] Xfree86 4.0 / Nvidia GeForce DDR
By the way, did you get the kernel module to compile? Here it dumps on some kernel-side includes... Apparently there's something wrong with my /usr/include/linux/fs.h which isn't needed by the driver at all, AFAIK, but it gives me errors on parsing this file... More info: I use a regular 2.2.14 kernel (not the one on the mandrake CD, but the one from kernel.org). I custom-built, compiled and installed it. The box is a dual celeron 500 one, running an SMP-kernel. A little excerpt (or however one spells that) from the errors: /usr/include/linux/fs.h:262, from /usr/include/linux/capability.h:13, from /usr/include/linux/binfmts.h:5, from /usr/include/linux/sched.h:8, from /usr/include/linux/mm.h:4, from nv.c:58: /usr/include/linux/hpfs_fs_i.h:5: parse error before `ino_t' /usr/include/linux/hpfs_fs_i.h:5: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union /usr/include/linux/hpfs_fs_i.h:12: parse error before `:' etc...

Re: [newbie] Xfree86 4.0 / Nvidia GeForce DDR
Ok, problem solved. On http://linuxgames.com I found the solution: untar the source, and add this to the DEFINES line in the Makefile: "-D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES". There's more hints there, and you can ask for help in the #nvidia channel on openprojects. On Apr 27 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: By the way, did you get the kernel module to compile?
