Hello ,
I am using an old 64Mb Nvidia Quadro2 Pro AGP card on an nforce2
board (MSI)
and Athlon xp 2600+ (barton) and 1Gb ram (512x2) and SATA Hdd . The reason
i'm
giving so much details is that i've been at it for weeks without locating
the problem .
I've been using the 2.6.10 kernel (custom build) with the nvidia
1-0.6629 version
of their prop. driver . the reason for using the old driver is that nvidia
has withdrawn
support for the quadro2 pro ( as well as other old chips ) in their newer
drivers -
that's mentioned clearly in the "README" files included in the newer driver
versions .
This system has been stable .
Now i tried to upgrade to the later kernel version 2.6.15.6 ,
downloaded the
source and compiled and lilo and rebooted and everything is alright . BUT
ONLY
the nvidia driver version 1-0.6629 WOULD NOT COMPILE !!!! As i am stuck
with this
driver version because of my old video-card (which i love) , am i ALSO stuck
with the
kernel ?? What has changed in the new kernel so much ? is there a patch or
a solution ?
Other than that the new kernel works perfectly on my system in text mode .
I need the new kernel for my tv-tuner to work - it's very flaky on
the 2.6.10 - and
documented problem with the 2.6.10 .
Ugly hole - ANY HELP . Suggestions .
- pinaki .
