Hi, guys.

Does anybody uses old GeForce2(MX) video with 2.6.27+ ?
Or does nvidia-drivers 96.+ work with 2.6.27+?

Thanks.

Regretfully, that's up to nvidia, though there's supposed to be a new legacy release soon.

Also, overlay update: alsa bumped to 1.0.18rc3 where it builds. (alsa-utils is giving failed patch stuff / needs more work, alsa-plugins still needs the ffmpeg toggle patch rediff'd, also need to look at zen-sources.eclass, probably broke it again. Will have 2.6.26-zenrt3 added shortly after it's fixed.)

... also bed.

So, I think the answer is no

BTW, is there any method to find out what capabilities any git branch has?
i.e. - How can I test if 2.6.27-rc8 tag contains compcache patch?
Seems like a noob question

Thanks.

I'm getting lots of

Did I miss something or is zen-overlay terribly broken? at least zen-sources are masked due to missing keywords, and zenrt-sources install a vanilla kernel... TIA V.

thanks for the clarification, rmh3093,

then I guess, as long as it works - I don't have to re-compile the kernel

Your git tree is messed up, git pull; git branch -M master master-old; git co -b master origin/master; git branch -D master-old

although what it sounds like is you're not on master at all, git branch to find out.

This patch was made for 173.14.12 drivers to work with the .27 kernel, i tried this patch with the 96+ drivers and simply works, so you can use the same patch for the 2 drivers without a problem

also:

Let's see if a fresh clone helps....
EDIT: Yes. That helped.

cheater's command doesn't work at all, and even if I used checkout instead of co, it still didn't fix the issue.

You should also update the git issues FAQ on zen-sources.org accordingly

I totally fail to see the difference between the "script" and above command sequence, beside latter one being a oneliner.
And it works fine for getting rid of merge conflicts, but this time the git repo was screwed in a different way.

I was on master, as always... last pull ~2 weeks ago *shrug*

so I don't understand what's the point about complaining to clone the repo from scratch if the address was changed

afaik there's no other way (I did the same with referencing linus' repo and thus saving most of the bandwidth)

@rmh3093:

is there a way to change the repo-address in git and therefore omit a complete re-clone ?

thanks

Well, the git urls have changed.

I of course assumed you were intelligent enough to check gitweb for the new urls, or ask us to see what was going on. You could have changed the git urls in .git/config and avoided a re-clone. The constant re-cloning should stop and is not a valid solution.

And no co is not a valid command, i have it aliased in my .gitconfig.
