nForce OSS Drivers broke on 2.6.10

[acharnley]

The NVIDIA OSS drivers are broke on 2.6.10 (fails to compile). I include the log below. Also, I wish the developers would stop messing with the treble in these drivers - the sound of the intel8x0 ALSA is balanced, the NVIDIA drivers has been 'enhanced'.

[hulz]

Extract the NFORCE package with:

sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1.run -xrun -0292-pkg1.run -x

Open NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1/nvsound/main/Makefile
goto line 54 comment the ifeq ($(REMAP_PAGE_RANGE),5)
and on line 56 the endif so you get:

#ifeq ($(REMAP_PAGE_RANGE),5)
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DREMAP_NEW
#endif

now run:
make
make install
depmod -a
modprobe nvsound

and it works!

(the conftest.sh doesn't give the right value back.)

[zbiggy]

I have a little update to hulz's patch:

In linux you can simply type in:
NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1.run -x

Next open:
./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1/nvsound/main/Makefile.kbuild (not makefile!)

Now patch as hulz says:

goto line 54 comment the ifeq ($(REMAP_PAGE_RANGE),5)
and on line 56 the endif so you get:

#ifeq ($(REMAP_PAGE_RANGE),5)
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DREMAP_NEW
#endif

Next go to ./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1 directory and execute:
nforce-installer
(remember to do NOT install network card!, this patch only fixes audio!)

instead of hulz's:

"now run:
make
make install
depmod -a
modprobe nvsound"

The driver will be compiled and installed.

Big thanks to hulz for patch

[zbiggy]

I made a fix for nvnet network module.

unpack nforce driver by typing in:
NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1.run -x

Next open:
./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1/nvnet/nvenet.c

in text editor. Go to line 1318:
pci_save_state(priv->pdev, priv->pci_state);
and change it to:
pci_save_state(priv->pdev);

Next, go to line 1374:
pci_restore_state(priv->pdev, priv->pci_state);
change it to:
pci_restore_state(priv->pdev);

Save changes to file in your text editor.

Next go to ./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1 directory and execute:
nforce-installer
(remember this patch fixes only nvnet!, to have nvsound fixed you have to do fix for nvsound described above).

The best way is to apply both fixes and run nforce-installer at the end.

[zbiggy]

Hi again!

I made all in one patch file. It fixes all both modules: nvnet and nvsound.

How to install it:

Unpack drivers:
./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1.run -x

Download archived file:
patch-nforcex86-292.diff.zip attachment to NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1 directory

When you are inside NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1 directory execute these commands:

unzip patch-nforcex86-292.diff.zip
patch -p1 < patch-nforcex86-292.diff
./nforce-installer

[Randabis]

Hi, the patch at the bottom did not work for me. I even tried doing it manually. Anybody have any ideas? I get the same errors everyone else is getting.

edit - I fixed it...had to move the directory for some reason

[TrickyRic]

cheers for the patch zbiggy, took me ages to find . works a treat.

[ibm2080]

Thanks a lot zbiggy and hulz.
It did work for me too.

I'm brazilian. Excuse for my english.

The patch don't work with my 2.6.10 Conectiva Linux:

ERROR:

you either have configured kernel sources matching your

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel

I'm crazy with this.

I can rebuild the kernel but can't compile a simple driver !!!
