Re: Nvidia drivers and 2.6.x kernel

How strange. I run slack 9.1 and 2.6.1, just grabbed the 4496 pre-patched file from http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/ and installed it as I would on 2.4. Works a charm.

Well ... i've applied the patch and downloaded the pre-patched drivers, sacrificed a virgin, installed the module loading stuff (just in case) and still no joy.

So i think the fault is not with NVidia. or the patch. Maybe it's a flaw in Slackware 9.1, or i'm just too thick.

I did get X to work with nv, but since i have a dodgy old monitor i can't get the vertical alignment right (there probably is a way to do it -- SAX in SuSE does the trick).
