I have compiled a 2.4.5 kernel with Win4lin support (using the 2.4.4
win4lin patch), and I have an nVidia TNT2 running 3D accelerated OpenGL
using nVidia's latest Linux drivers. The nVidia drivers are compiled into
a module after you've rebooted with your new Win4Lin patched kernel. I'm
running XFree86-4.0.1.
3D works fine (at least in 16 bit colour). I haven't actually run Windows
yet, but the Win4Lin installer recognized my kernel as compatible, and
installed my evaluation version of Win4Lin 3.0. (Got my Win4Lin 1.0 ->
3.0 upgrade license today, thanks Netraverse!).
I can keep the list updated if there is interest.
And again, thanks to Netraverse for such a great product and great
attention to upgrade customers. I can't wait to see all the improvements!
