7174 and 2.6.16-rc1

[kangur]

Hi,

Looks like 7174 does not compile with 2.6.16-rc1. I am stuck with this driver because I have GeForce 2 GTS. I want to upgrade the kernel because of other, not related issues. I am using Gentoo (~x86).

So I am asking if there is a patch available (or could be done in the nearest future)?

Also what about new legacy drivers release? It could fix some other problems as well (not creating automagically device nodes in recent kernels and so on). Also new package name would be great because package managers will stop thinking that 7174 is very old version and should be upgraded (yes, I know /etc/portage/package.mask and I am done but it is a whole lot nicer if something works out of the box).

In case you wonder this is the compilation error I am getting:
