[opensuse-factory] Kernel sources for NVIDIA compilation
Hi, I think that I read somewhere that the full install of the kernel sources is not necessary any more to compile the NVIDIA driver but I can't find the information how to do it now on the internet. What needs to be installed now? How to "configure" the sources then?

I don't know Karl. The way I understood kernel developers talk, if sources are required then it is a bug. Please file bug report, and let us know the bug number. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The kernel module is nvidia.ko.

As kernel changes have happened not too far back, the 71.86.11 driver may not be compatible, you can register and post via the very helpful http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 Give details of your kernel version and attach the log.

modprobe gives no error, and after lsmod tells me: nvidia 3931788 0 That means that the module is loaded right?
Check the logfile for details of what went wrong.
the next step would be sax2 which still gives me the same error (I posted the log before)
I just want to be sure that it's really an issue to be posted there and not an issue of sax2. Please confirm again, and I'll post it there.

From there starting X or init.5 if they work should point to sax2 as the likely problem.
Why are you still discussing that? I already explained before what the issue is here. ======================================================================
Karl needs 71.86.x since he's still using a GeForce2 Ti card. Obviously the latest available release 71.86.11 of the 71.86.x series released on 2009-06-27 is still lacking support for xorg-server 1.6. I see several options here: - switch to nv/nouveau driver - downgrade to openSUSE 11.1 - update graphics card - complain to NVIDIA ====================================================================== Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

My NVidia setup works fine w/o /etc/X11/xorg.conf or using sax2.

With the driver from nvidia? Or the standard nv driver?
I had no problem with going to runlevel 5 because nothing of my configuration was changed :-). Just: the system is still using nv instead of nvidia... I'll send a "complain" to nvidia.

Nope. ;) The packages are set up the way they're supposed to be, modulo bnc#437068. Prior to the existence of kernel-$flavor-devel, we had per-architecture kernel-source packages that were nearly identical. A giant waste of space on the mirrors. What I did with kernel-$flavor-devel is to take the files that were arch specific from kernel-source and put them in their own package. Then kernel-source was made noarch and only contains the patched source tree and nothing more. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes. It is either kernel devel package, or kernel source, not both. To be sure that is bug please post devel package version, and repo where you found it, if it is not Factory. I want to check requires, before bug report is filed. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

No, it's not a bug. kernel-$flavor-devel is *not* supposed to be a pared down version of kernel-source. It's only meant to contain the per-flavor specific headers and scripts after running make prepare, the compressed ELF kernel (where applicable), and the symsets. The reason for this was to make kernel-source noarch. bnc 437068 is the enhancement request for a kernel-devel package. Michal Marek is working on it, but I'm sure we can agree that there are more urgent issues with the Factory kernel than wasting disk space with kernel-source for building external modules. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
