Je ne parle pas le francais tres bien. Je me regret...

Now that i've butchered what little french I remember from school...

You'll need to use the SRPM or source tarball package to build a driver for your system. If you're using the SRPM, the command is

rpmbuild --rebuild /path/to/where/you/put/the/SRPM

If you're using the tarballs, it's

tar xzvf NVIDIA-nforce-1.0-0248.tar.gz
cd nforce
make install

Make sure you have your kernel-source RPM installed - it's necessary to rebuild the files.

Same problem here... RH9.0 running as root :

rpm -i NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0256.rh80up_2.4.18_14.athlon.rpm
OK
rpm -i NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0256.rh80up_2.4.18_27.athlon.rpm
OK
rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0256.src.rpm

Build errors in nvcrush.c

yeap, same prob here

[Andy Mecham]

Can you post the build errors?

--andy

[Esprit]

Yes... :

nvcruhsh.c: in the function "Nvaudio_mmapwrite" :
nvcrush.c:426: warning: passing arg1 of remap_page_range_R2bvavf18f2 tranform a pointer to an integer without type
nvcrush.c incompatible type for arg4 of remap_page_range_R2vaf18

And the same errors at line 465.

[Andy Mecham]

Thanks, i'll get this over to development.

Salut,
j'ai vu que tu cherchais l'explication en français.

Il te faut tout d'abord télécharger les sources des pilotes nvidia(.tar.gz) sur le site nvidia.
Puis tu installes aussi le package kernel-sources....i586.rpm (c'est sur un des cd de ta redhat.

Tu lis le read me pour décompresser ton fichier de pilotes puis tu lance le makefile (faire make en root).
La compilation des pilotes devrait bien se dérouler, sinon, c'est un bug.
Puis tu les installes :
su
make install

puis pour tester (peut-être faut-il rebooter), tu fais
ifconfig eth0 (si tu n'as que cette carte réseau, c'est eth0, sinon c'est un autre eth)

A+

...was to grab the tarball, unpack it, edit the Makefile to remove the 'nvaudio' subdir from the line "SUBDIRS = nvnet nvaudio". Then 'make all' to build and 'make install' to install the nvnet module. 'insmod' that sucker, update modules.conf to include "alias eth0 nvnet" and your good. Then you can just reboot and let kudzu notice the addition....or you can set it up manually.

This worked for me on RH9.
