173.14.12 (legacy) with kernel 2.6.27.x does not build

pgs · 10-31-08, 06:02 AM

Hi, it seems that the latest legacy driver, 173.14.12, does not cope so well with the 2.6.27.x kernel serie.
Headers are not found and when found API parameters do not match.

Would it be possible, from NVIDIA side, to have a look into it and provide some fix/update?

Thanks a lot in advance.

P.S.: I know a nvidia-bug-report should be attached, but I got no time to get one and the issue should be pretty much reproducible. In case it is not, please let me know.

Thanks again,

pgs

We're working on an updated 173.14.xx legacy driver release that should improve compability with recent Linux kernels.
