At least the 9631 version of the Nvidia video driver did not compile after the
patch was applied and the kernel successfully build and booted. Same would
definitely hold for older Nvidia versions and possibly newer ones as well.
Problem: A bunch of obseleted #define SA_..... entries
in the linux source/include/linux/interrupt.h
They say do not use in newer code but Nvidia does need them.
Solution: Copy these from an older or unpatched version of this file and then
paste into the new one. One need not rebuild the kernel since these are no
longer used there. After do this, Nvidia will build and run fine (so far).

Don't "fix" the kernel, but fix the drivers ;)

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.

where did you get these patches? I have an MX4000 and apparently the

nvidia gpu's work 100% under linux with either the nv or the nvidia drivers.
as you say for proper 3d you need the closed source nvidia driver.
you have made the right choice.

someone made a post about this...to build nvidia-legacy-drivers against the
2.6.20 you need to copy part of your original kernel and replace it into the
new kernel. can't remember what the file was called tho. btw it worked.
took a while, but i found it. David Baron posted it.

The migration helper patch just fixes that SA.. IRQ stuff.. one liner.
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)

I use the two attached patches:

I doubt the -rt developers care about closed source drivers. It's up
to nvidia to fix their code to work with -rt.
