Between 2.4.0-test10 and 2.4.0 enough stuff changed that I can't get the OpenGL NVIDIA_kernel module compiled and linked properly. Has anyone else taken a shot at this?

I realize this is a little bit OT, since it's something that nvidia ought to be handling, but thus far they've failed to respond to my e-mail.

Thanks,
Dave

This was on linuxgames.com: does this not work? I haven't had time to try yet...

Unofficial NVIDIA Driver 2.4.0 Patch - Friday Jan 05 08:58:54 2001 - Updated by Crusader

phantomlord pointed out in our comments that the Christian "phoenix" Zander has produced a patch for NVIDIA's Linux kernel driver for use in conjunction with the recently released 2.4.0 kernel (phoenix wrote this code for the 2.4.0 prerelease, but the patch should work with the final kernel tree without issues). Please note that this is an unofficial (and unsupported) solution, and that NVIDIA will likely release a new official driver version for use with the 2.4.x series shortly.
