Re: [Linux-ia64] Problem about NVidia driver 1.0-2880 on Linux-ia64 kernel 2.4.18

Yi-

Last I heard nVidia drivers for Linux consisted of source wrappers
around a binary only driver.  Unless you can get nVidia to release
ALL of their driver source (extremely unlikely) or, alternatively, get
nVidia to rlease IA64 binaries you're pretty much out of luck.
