 the last nvidia driver to support this chipset is v9731, but I
 can't get it to work. I assume I need these patches and possibly
 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.
