I don't know what version of nvidia driver works for your MX4000, but
if the new generation one works (it should down to GF4 cards),
then just use the latest 9755 version, that works fine without patches.
For the legacy drivers, there are patches for newer kernels available,
latest I'm aware of is 2.6.19 (Gentoo portage holds a patch for that)
Cheers,
Tom

Tom,
where did you get these patches? I have an MX4000 and apparently 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?
thanks!
brad
I believe only the migration helpers patch is
needed for the legacy
96** series.
Yes, the kmem_cache_t removal patch is not important. The new 9755
driver doesn't need to be patched at all.
