Anyone using kernel 2.4.6 with Nvidia drivers? Just wonder if it 
works....
Thanks.

     

I tried the Nvidia drivers under 2.6test2 and they failed to compile....

Using the default X nv driver works but the OpenGL support is 
(subjectively) slower than the closed source nvidia drivers. (Running 
chromium bsu is vslow)

Hmm jas I am going to check http://www.nvidia.com

Nope no mention of any 2.5 or 2.6 support... so looks like it's the 
XFree86 drivers or nothing.

   

No, no!  Works just fine on 2.5.x through 2.6.0-test6 (several months now).  I'm
using nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3 and nvidia-glx-1.0.4496, but I've heard that the
next lower versions will work also.  These are masked, so you will need
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86".
 

So you didn't use the nvidia monolithic *.run file package but the 
individual kernel / glx packages? Maybe that was why I couldn't get it 
to compile as I used the *.run package.

Can you explain what the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" line is. Is it an 
environment variable or something int he packages you need to set?
