I take it that means that you got a response from the FSF about the possibility of a GPL violation? Personally I thought having the nvidia/ati drivers as part of the kernel patch was a great idea (as long as it actually worked, I don't think the problems that were experience were unsolvable) but I can certainly see that it might be a violation of the GPL. After all, if nitro can make it that easy to install the nvidia/ati drivers then why wouldn't SuSE, Redhat and Mandrake do the same?

Oh no.... don't let creativity and innovation disappear from nitro just because of some bad apples.

Alright, I've decided that while the nvidia/ati drivers were cool (AND WORKED ON MY BOX), it would be stupid to leave that patch in for future versions due to the problems some people are having using them, and also due to the lawyers. The next nitro is going to be slimmed down, with several features "missing" (not coming back). And after this, there will be no more innovations. Nitro-sources will return to the "here's the next release, nothing special" that everyone likes, and (hopefully) people will stop hating me for trying to improve upon it.

New "stable" pending.


Hey there's no need being defiant now. I loved the idea of putting the nvidia module into the kernel, and hell yea that was an innovation. Wheter it is legal or not is the other question, but if there's a solution to it, why not stick to that great idea.
I mean, for me the nvidia module doesn't work at the moment, but with further improvents there might be a way, and if its legal then you have sth to be proud of!

I didn't get a response from fsf yet, but I know that it IS possible to resolve the license issues. I know how it can be done, I just don't know exactly how to do it. But the real reason I'm taking IT out is because it's just too much of a hassle. There seems to be no reason why it does or does not work, and thus we waste our time trying to hunt down the cause instead of doing real work.

Also, seppe is back.

EDIT:
chunderbunny: I think nitro stood out a bit too much with IT.

That seems like a real shame, a feature like IT would really make nitro stand out.

Hi all, i tried a nitro kernel for the 1st time, especially for its win4lin/ATI patches. But... I can't get it compile, erf:
Code:
 LD      arch/i386/mki-adapter26/built-in.o
  CC [M]  arch/i386/mki-adapter26/mki-main.o
  CC [M]  arch/i386/mki-adapter26/mki26.o
arch/i386/mki-adapter26/mki26.c:121:10: #error MKI will not work if __PAGE_OFFSET is not >= MKI_END_USER_ADDR
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/mki-adapter26/mki26.o] Erreur 1
make: *** [arch/i386/mki-adapter26] Erreur 2


I didn't find any mention of win4lin in this thread, seems i'm the only one with this problem?

If I remember correctly, and it has been a while since I patched win4lin into a ck-based kernel, there is a conflict with the lowmen patch.

The output is this conflict, so make sure you don't have the 1G lowmem enabled in the kernel config and try again.

I must admit I always reversed that particular patch as too many people were having the problems you describe. Anyway, see if ensuring the lowmem is not selected works.

HTH

Thanks, it works indeed :) I admit i was damn tempted by the 1 Go lowmem option :)
I'll see more of nitro tomorow (particularly fglrx module).

@_kal_: add the following 2 lines to your /etc/portage/package.keywords :
Code:
media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86
media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86

This way you'll install the nvidia-drivers with the latest patches which should solve problems with kernels > 2.6.10.

Good news. I was playing with gensplash so I had to recompile the nitro0e kernel. I enabled all the gensplash stuff and emerge the latest nvidia-kernel and now unbelievable it works with the NVIDIA driver !! No more hard locking.

The e patch is a real succes with Reiser4. Porthole loads my ebuild db (9016 packages) much more quickly than before.

Thx INDs. ; )

Has anyone tried this patch with the 2.6.11.2 kernel release?

I had some problems with burning CD's while music is running in the background, although memory/CPU usage wasn't too high so i suspect it was/is a problem with reiser4 or such (also have that problem with the 2.6.11-love sources (We are the borg-thing) ) as i prefer using nitro, do you know if that was/is an Reiser4 issue and is it solved?

Hey Darckness, guess what? All of your releases with -r0 on them cannot be unmerged without unmerging all versions of nitro.

Nice going.

It automatically removes r0 (2.6.11_rc3-r0 -> 2.6.11_rc3) and therefore can't find the correct ebuild to unmerge.
I refuse to use nitro until you stop this r0 silliness. pre1, beta1, alpha1, whatever, just not the portage-[rule-]breaking r0.

Have you tried to enable all the gensplash stuff in the kernel ? This is what fixed it for me .... it seems. Check the gensplash tutorial in the Documentation, Tips & Tricks forum and enable all those things. Maybe it will work ...

Nvidia kernel won't work if in-kernel Nvidia is enabled, it keeps giving me errors, so i had to disable it in the kernel and emerge nvidia-kernel using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.

Hm i also have some problems considering memory-usage (i think it's resulting from memory management?)
if anyone had some time peeking at this thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-305615.html , would be nice, because i myself am not experienced enough to solve it myself i'm afraid.. thx in advance for anyone so kind to have a look ;)
Using 2.6.11-nitro0 over here, CFQ scheduling enabled, Deadline/Anticipatory disabled.
However the boot-time of this kernel is really good ^^
