NVIDIA Quadro NVS vs. 5336

[jwj]

Hi,

I tried to get the 5336 nvidia linux driver working on my debian woody box.
The module loads fine into the kernel, but when I start X the log shows:

Everything worked fine with the 4496 version of the driver, but this driver gives me rendering problems.

Please help me to get the 5336 running.

Cheers,

First verify if the kernel module and kernel are compiled using the same gcc version.

[jwj]

Yes, kernel and modules are compiled with the same compiler.

I'm affraight we won't be able to easily fix that bug from here. Try to send an email to linux-bugs@nvidia.com and also try the 1.0-5341 drivers from pny.com (look for quadrofx 3000g drivers).

[jwj]

I tried the 5341 drivers, it still doesnt work. Logs read now:

I am really stuck :-(

[andyrock]

Have you tried driver version 1.0-4620?

Some people here report it to be the best one for 2.4 kernels

www.minion.de for 4620
