Subject: Missing nvidia.ko, cannot install nvidia driver
Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 22:07:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201011182208.00077.gene.heskett@gmail.com> (raw)

Greetings;

All of a sudden it seems I cannot find the option that makes a kernel build 
include the build and install of 
/lib/modules/2.6.36/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko

It built for 2.6.33.7-pclos with this config grep for NVIDIA
[root@coyote src]# grep NVIDIA linux-2.6.33.7-pclos1/.config
CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=m
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C=y
# CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_MBP_NVIDIA=m

But not for this:
[root@coyote src]# grep NVIDIA linux-2.6.36/.config
CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=m
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C=y
# CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_BACKLIGHT=y
# CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_MBP_NVIDIA is not set

Anyone have a clue they can spare?

Thanks.
