TEST13-PRE7 - Nvidia Kernel Module Compile Problem

TEST13-PRE7 - Nvidia Kernel Module Compile Problem

[Tony Spinillo]

The nvidia kernel module (from www.nvidia.com) has compiled and loaded
correctly with all test13-pre series up to pre6. I just tried to
compile and load under pre7.
I got the following:
nv.c:860:unknown field `unmap' specified in initializer
nv.c:860:warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
make:*** [nv.o] Error 1

Is this due to a problem with the recent makefile changes or a problem
with the nvidia module?

Thanks!

Tony

Delete the unmap: line somewhere near line 868 of nv.c
Seems to be working fine here.

I'm intrigued... how did you resolve the 'mem_map_inc_count' and
'mem_map_dec_count',
'put_module_symbol' and 'get_module_symbol' references?

It's only of academic interest for me now as I've ditched the nvidia -
not worth the hassle.

Amusingly, We're breaking the EULA even by reading the supplied source
code...

usually there are patches on irc.openprojects.net #nvidia after a day or
less whenever kernel changes fsck up the latest nvidia kernel module.
