Description Azerion Fagonda 2006-02-13 01:20:22 UTC

Hardware: GeFore2 Pro (legacy)
Kernel: 2.6.16_rc1_git3-7

Because I have a Nvidia legacy videocard (GeForce2 Pro) I have to use the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1.run. But now it seems (asked @ IRC) that the nvidia-driver cannot be build against this Kernel. That would be a problem for me, and all other 'old'-nvidia-users witch want to use 'nvidia' instead of 'nv'.

I could complain to Nvidia, and then they smile, say 'thanks for the report' and turn around. Maybe the (open)SUSE-team can contact them and ask for a new driver-install. (lost one sucked anyway)
