If your trying to have the NVIDIA drivers work in both 2.4 and 2.6 on the same machine it's easy enoughyou just need to use the same version of the kernel driver. eg 5328. you simply install the 2.4 one which updates glx to 5328 version. Then extract the source for the header for the kernel driver patch them. reboot into 2.6 and compile them by hand. The kernel drivers install in /lib/modules/kernel-x.x.x-x/drivers/video with the 2.4 being in /lib/modules/kernel-2.4.xx-x/drivers/video and 2.6 in /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.xx-x/drivers/video
I've got them quite happily existing side by side. As long as you use the same nvidia drivers version they're quite happy with sharing GLX. If I've totally missed the plot just ignore me :) Chad On Tue, 23 Dec 2003 20:01, Anguo wrote: > On Friday 19 Dec 2003 4:44 am, JoeHill wrote: > > Can you not have two sets of drivers installed, kernel > > *and* GLX, as long as they are installed into seperate > > kernels? > > > > Seems to me, as I indicated below, he should be able to > > install both kernel and GLX drivers and have 3D > > acceleration in both kernels... > > I have now been able to get my new kernel working, and X and > 3D acceleration. > > I have noticed that NVIDIA_kernel, just like the kernel, are > installed side by side but the NVIDIA_GLX are upgraded. > > So the answer is no: we cannot have 3D accelerations in both > kernels with the nvidia drivers. > > Thanks to all who helped. > > Augustin
