Using a fairly recent Cooker kernel on a 9.0 system worked fine for me, after I had hand-added the symlink between /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build and /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r) Cheers; Leon

I get a working Nvidia kernel RPM, with lots of messages, but no fatal errors. What error(s) do you get? The only problem I've ever had was the kernel sources not being installed by default, which was easy to fix. I keep up to date with cooker, so I have probably rebuilt the Nvidia driver around 8 or 10 times in the past few months. It builds fine, and works fine. Have you looked at the instructions on the Nvidia web site? Paul

Is it possible you have different versions of the kernel and glx? The last version I downloaded was 4191. As root you can build the Nvidia driver from the source rpm as follows: rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.src.rpm rpm --rebuild NVIDIA-GLX-1.0-4191.src.rpm then you install them by executing the following lines: rpm -ivh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.i586.rpm rpm -ivh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i586.rpm If you are re-installing the driver you would use rpm -Uvh, perhaps with --force if you just rebuilt the driver because you upgraded the Linux kernel. If you need the --force and don't enter it, you will get an error message. I'm not at my Linux machine right now, so this was done from memory, but I think it is pretty accurate. You may also need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to change the driver name from "nv" to "nvidia". Not also, because of the way they set up the kernel source rpm, I believe you have to build it as root. I hope this helps. Paul Misner Resuilding from the source rpms is really easy.
RE: Re: [Cooker] How to rebuild nvidia-kernel for rc1
In fact the drivers was build and installed, but when you try to install nvidia-glx there is an error about "failed dependencies, nvidia-kernel" is needed"). I have not the package nvidia-kernel rebuilt and I thought that the crashes could be due to that.Just the nvidia.o is present in /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/NVIDIA-KERNEL/ and doing from this directory a make install it runs, but with the mentioned crashes.

RE: Re: [Cooker] How to rebuild nvidia-kernel for rc1
I means that changing a line in the makefile created in /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/NVIDIA-KERNEl/ directory and typing make install the modules (nvidia.o) was created and installed, so games as Chromium or Tuxracer now can be played, but it is a non real nvidia-kernel package so it gives me some problems. So I have 3d acceleration enabled after that, even the nvidia screen appears when I start X, but some crashes means that this is not a perfect solution. I would like to rebuild the nvidia-kernel file from the rpm source under rc1. Anyone could help me?

Hola, yo uso la cooker, y el kernel source de Nvidia se compila sin problemas. Sólo tuve que poner una variable de entorno, la que te dice cuando tratas de compilar.

Like you said, was the question about being able to build the driver, or getting your system to work with the driver? It is not uncommon for some messages to appear because the version of GCC in 9.1 is newer than the code was written for. These are warnings, not errors, and the driver builds perfectly. As long as you have the kernel source RPM installed, there should be no issues. The error messages that occur without the kernel source RPM present are not very clear, and could be what he is talking about. Paul Misner

Yup, did a rsync fresh install last night, then I rebuilt both nvidia src rpms with out a problem. Darren [EMAIL PROTECTED] How far is it from time to time ?

AFAIK nvidia does not use DRI? And I thought you were not able to compile? d.
