where did you get these patches? I have an MX4000

the last nvidia driver to support this chipset is v9731, but I

copy over the obsoleted #define SA_..... entries?
And, what is the "migration helpers patch"?
Basically: do you know what I need to do to make the nvidia driver
version that works for MX4000 work?
I use the two attached patches:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9631-pkg1_IRQF_SHARED.patch against
nvidia driver and
20-rt_EXPORT_SYMBOL.patch against the kernel.
The first removes the SA_ entries and replaces with equivalent
#defined constant.
Where does one get these patches and how does one apply them (the
Nvidia is closed driver .run file which includes compressed sources
inside. The rt8 patch is a patch file, not a collection of source.
there is an option to extract the .run archive only. --extract-only
maybe. Then apply your patches and compile the driver from within the
source tree.
