kernel 2.6.9-rc2-mm4 and nvidia 1.0-6111

siddly · 09-28-04, 07:05 PM

Changed all instances of NV_REMAP_PAGE_RANGE to NV_REMAP_PFN_RANGE and nv_remap_page_range to nv_remap_pfn_range in nv.c, nv-linux.h, os-agp.c and os-interface.c as redifined in /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-rc2-mm4/include/linux/mm.h. The module builds and installs without problems, but on init 5, I get thrown back to vt1, /var/log/XFree86.0.log gives the error:-
(--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xD8000000
(--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xE1000000

Any help appreciated.

In addition to the patches from http://00f.net/blogs/index.php/2004/...linux_2_6_9_mm I've changed NV_REMAP_PAGE_RANGE to NV_REMAP_PFN_RANGE and remap_page_range to remap_pfn_range in nv-linux.h, nv.c, os-agp.c, and os-interface.c, the missing piece -- see below. I may get around to posting patches to the nvidia forum later today.

I'm not sure if I can divulge the name of my helper in case he gets showered by unwanted email, but a suggested additional change to nv-linux.h has fixed it.
#define NV_REMAP_PFN_RANGE(from, offset, x...) \
remap_pfn_range(vma, from, ((offset)) >> PAGE_SHIFT), x)
