 |
|
I emerged development-sources 2.5.68.
When I emerge nvidia-kernel 1.0.4349-r2 I get the following error:
| Code: | emerge nvidida-kernel
...
nv.c: In function `nv_kern_read_agpinfo':
nv.c:1961: structure has no member named `name'
make: *** [nv.o] Error 1
!!! ERROR: media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349-r2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 87, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
|
NOTE:
I have symlinked /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linux-2.5.68 |

IIRC the nvidia drivers don't work with the new kernel.

| Remember don't compile your kernel with the option "local APIC on uniprocessor" . Otherwise you will encounter deep freezes when entering or exiting an X session. |

Um, where did you get this information?
All my kernels have this option on. I recompile the kernel about every two weeks. I have a Athlon tbird. Only with 2.5.67-mm2 do I get any sort of freeze, and that is when exiting X, and it is rare.

darktux, Jimbow what did you guys do to make it work?
The following isn't working:
| Code: | > emerge development-sources
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-kernel/development-sources-2.5.68 to /
...
> cd /usr/src/linux-2.5.68
> make menuconfig
> make bzImage modules modules_install
> rm /usr/src/linux
> ln /usr/src/linux-2.5.68 linux
> emerge nvidia-kernel
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349-r2 to /
...
nv.c: In function `nv_kern_read_agpinfo':
nv.c:1961: structure has no member named `name'
make: *** [nv.o] Error 1
!!! ERROR: media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349-r2 failed.

i also have the nvidia drivers working with kernel version 2.5.68-mm2. when you do an 'emerge nvidia', look at the output. it should say something about:
| Code: |
kernel version: 2.5.68
applying patches for 2.5.68.. done!
|
fairly early in the output. if it says that, then i don't know what's going on because i had NO problems getting this stuff to work. if you still have problems why not try and disable agpgart/compile it as a module rather than into the kernel or other minor changes. as info, i compiled agpgart into the kernel but decided to use nvidia's agp instead. no particular reason, just testing to see if it was faster. 
hope this helps, if only a little or for peace of mind.
[edit]
i just noticed you're trying to emerge 4349. try doing:
| Code: |
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge nvidia-kernel
|
and see what happens. i had no problems installing mine, but i was also emerging the 4363 drivers.
