Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 1.0.8776-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
Trying to build the nvidia driver for 2.6.23.8 results in a number of
compilation errors. The following patch fixes that problem (note I'm
just trying to satisfy the compiler without really knowing what the
effects are :-) It seems to work, though).
Cheers,
MB
