I may get around to posting patches to the nvidia forum later today.

Isn't there an nvidia-linux mailing list? This is really OT for

I had one for a while where I posted patches but it never gained much
momentum. Unless there is a sizable group of people who want this I
don't see any need to resurrect it.
OK, makes sense. With so many people using the driver I guess it's just
easiest to deal with nvidia problems on LKML.

Just about any out-of-kernel driver using Changed-API-X will be broken, free or non-free. Something more general like linux-drivers or linux-kernel-drivers would probably make more sense.
Sometimes changes in -mm even break in-kernel drivers; it's not really an "NVIDIA problem" as such. I agree with Lee though; it's an unwritten rule that you prefix a subject with [OT] when speaking about something which isn't directly relevant to the kernel.
(By the way, if this breaks outside of -mm patches will appear for stable kernels on http://minion.de/ as did with the 2.5 development tree.)
