Hi there!

Anybody got a working patch for nvidia 4363 to let it work with the 2.6.0-test1 kernel?
The 2.5 nvidia patch doesn't work for the 2.6 kernel.

Just a quick hack to the official unofficial patch! It's working OK for me right now. You'll need to apply the 2.5 patch then this one afterwards.

Hi!

Seems like some people have problems applying your patch.
I have put up a small howto how to compile the NVIDIA_kernel
with linux-2.6 at http://deltaanime.ath.cx/~blight/nvidia_kernel_with_2.6.html
The only thing what breaks it is that the version is no longer below 2, 6, 0 which the 2.5 patch uses to check wether it's 2.5 or not ;)

hope this helps some poeple,
Gregor

Strange you should say that as yours is the only reply I've seen. Is there somewhere else that someone is saying they're having problems?

Yes, I know that works, but I felt like extending the definitions instead of making it treat 2.5 and 2.6 as if they're identical. OK, they probably will be now, but I've never likes taking things for granted.
