NVIDIA driver support for v2.6.2 kernel

[linuxusr]

Im in a big need of nvidia drivers supporting the 2.6.2 kernel,
please make it available any time soon please

[eswan]

check http://www.minion.de

Or driver 5336...

I assume that works with 2.6.2. It worked with 2.6.2-rc1 anyway (they also fixed the annoying oops with newer AGP chipsets).

[Delleon]

I'm using the 5536 with kernel 2.6.2 and it works perfectly so far. I had no problems with 2.6.1 either.

[xdamnx]

got big problems using kernel 2.6.2 and the 5336 driver.

after compiling the kernel i emerged the nvidia drivers.
but when i start the x-server i got bad hungups which cause serious system damage. got to use ldconfig for setting the deps again and my XF86Config got some bogus char on beginning and end of file. (vim tells me that


xserver works with the nv driver, but i want speed

dmesg | grep nvidia reveals:

nvidia: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
nvidia: no version magic, tainting kernel.
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5336 Wed Jan 14 18:29:26 PST 2004

my xfreelog from the hungup:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found


When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org.

but the nvidia module loads...

hopefully some1 got a solution !!

The lack of version magic is a warning only, you see it because Gentoo's ebuilds don't use KBUILD. The driver should still be able to initialize just fine; do you have the character special files installed in /dev and the necessary privileges to access them? Also, are there any additional error messages in the output of dmesg after the startup failure?

i managed to get the kernel oops with dmesg via ssh:

I have the exact same problem!

Are you using AGPgart or NVIDIA's AGP support in the binary kernel module? Have you tried switching between the two to see if that has any affect?

[poshenloh]

I was using NvAGP. I'm recompiling to try using AGPgart now. What are you using? Also, would you be willing to e-mail a copy of your XF86Config to po@caltech.edu? That would be very helpful.

Thanks!
