Did anybody have compiled nvidia driver with 2.4.0. (final) kernel ?

Yes I did

It's not that difficult: I've got SuSE 7.0 with xfree86 4.0.2 (SuSE packages) and Kernel 2.4.0 final. Take the nvidia 0.9-5 tarballs. Unpack them. Apply this patch (attached patch < patch... from within the NVIDIA_kernel directory):

Okay, if you try to compile it complains about some unmap stuff.

Open nv.c

Go to line 860. Remove all the lines from and including the else expression. Go some lines up and remove the if expression looking for the right kernel version. Now, you have the declaration for the 2.4.0 kernel, right.

Save and exit

Now do a make.

For beeing sure copy the NVdriver to /lib/modules/2.4.0/video/NVdriver

Try a modprobe NVdriver. With a lsmod it should appear now. Okay no configure X and glx as before.

Works perfectly on my system

Enjoy

Marcel
