So, the Q stands: what is the #4620 all about?
I haven't tried the driver yet as I want to use it with 2.6.0-mm1 kernel perhaps tomorrow when I've had some sleep and I am not in a coffee stupor, having just waded through an hour and a half of hand patching 2.6.0-mm1 with the laptop patch.
Stay away from coffee. It can do very strange things to you when consumed in large quantities. I ended up with coffee poisoning, according to my doctor, some years. Couldn't walk without hanging on the walls and generally had much trouble in walking. Doc asked me how much coffee I drank and I told. Stopped drinking coffee and got back to normal. Haven't touched coffee since - only have a cup when we have guests for dinner. Otherwise I only drink green jasmine tea.
Cheers.
It's not there now, though I've just downloaded it from http://public.pny.com/quadro/FX3000g/Linux/, it seems to have been a beta driver for IA32 they put out in August, they must have yanked it before announcing it, there was also a 4499 for AMD64 I think that's no longer up on the nvidia.com archive. I pulled down the README for 4499 on 15th. November. Ah well, I'll just have to tap others to see if I can get the AMD64 package for free, and I have my coffee so weak, it takes me a week to consume 5 heaped teaspoons of the instant stuff.
