Anybody help? I was fine w/o the realtime kernel. Now, I'm stuck.

OK, I have to ask a really stupid question. I was told that no special kernel modules or
proprietary drivers are required in order to get Nvidia graphics chips working: the free
"nv" driver is supposed to work just fine (for 2D anyway, which is all I need).
Am I missing something? Did I make a boo-boo by buying a machine with an Nvidia chip?

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?
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.
