The trick is: 0) telinit 3 1) install K_athlon and k_sources 2) cd /usr/src/linux 3) make cloneconfig 4) edit include/linux/version.h and make sure it looks like this #define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.20-4GB-athlon" #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132116 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) 5) export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=true 6) sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run or 6) sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --extract-only 6a)cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2 6b) make install 7) startx
the tricky bits are step 3) [as the kernel sources are not configed for athlon] and step 4) `(as the standard version.h calls a different UTS_RELEASE).
I am using a GeForce4 MX 440 (64Mb DDR)
Well, I just, yet and once again, tried to install the 4496 using the procedure you spelt out and with the same result: 4496 creates all those problems for me. So I went back to 4363.
The only thing I can think of in that case is that I downloaded the latest Xserver patches through you as well .. While I do not have a GeForce 4 MX, i have insatlled 4496 on a ti4200 (or was it a 4400) which is (or at least should be ) a similar card. What kind of issues do you get when running 4496 ?
