don't wanna sound nasty, but you are :)
I wouldn't use an nvidia card with 2.5, this is cut from a previous
message on the lkml.

 Assuming you get lucky, and manage to fix up all the compile
 errors in the source you have, chances are that the same
 interface changes will break the binary only part too.
 So it'll compile, link, and likely explode as soon as you
 try to use it.

 It's likely that only nvidia can help you here.
 Same goes for any other binary only module during a devel series.

        Just to add something related, but unrelated to the NVIDIA problem 
above, this is the same exact error I received when I compiled any kernel > 
2.5.2 with ALSA 0.5.* and ALSA 0.9.*. Hopefully with ALSA being in 2.5.5pre1, 
this will be taken care of.

                                                        BL.

Ask nvidia.
And you should also ask to GPLize the driver, until they don't open the
source you will see these problems in many new kernel release.

What happened was remap_page_range sprouted a new first argument - the vma
you are mapping into. If you know even a tiny bit of C you can fix it
yourself; just look for the nearest variable of type 'struct
vm_area_struct*', and prepend it to the other args.

Not that everything is guaranteed to work even if it compiles... NVIDIA
cards do some very unusual fiddling with memory mappings and page tables, so
VM changes are just as likely to break their driver...

Dan

-sorry!- about the repeat..it turns out John posted like 10 hrs before I
did ..lol..I was sure I'd done a search in Evo before posting to avoid
that ( noted the sorry just in case though) but guess not..;(


anyway onwards and upwards..

1. It's obvious. Try to understand meanings of MINOR in 2.4 and minor in 2.5 =)
2. I've compiled my NVIDIA kernel modules bringed in these fixes. I've no troubles.

yes, I'm using now 2.5.2-pre10 and have to game Quake I/II/III, Tux Racer, BZFlag and everything works well, except Return To Castle Wolfenstein.

Of course, If you want only game you must use 2.4 now, but why are you subscribed lkml then? =)

hmm, castle wolfenstein is right up there
with q3a, that's too bad - but it may be
worth a try anyway...

ROFL!

I assume the question is rhetorical.

There's lots of Linux stuff going on here besides games...
