anyone had success building the nvidia legacy video drivers for 2.6.17? I know so far there has been problems with 2.6.16 and building the drivers, although there should be a patch out now on nvnews.net.
I have hung back on 2.6.15.4 for a while now, just wondering if anyone has managed to build them ok on a 2.6.16+ kernel
thanks!
my mistake, its actuallly 2.6.16.17 lol
anyway I've found an unofficial patch for it the nvidia legacy drivers at nvnews.net, if anyone wants the patch or the instructions I'll post them here, I have managed to apply the patch ok so I'm building the new kernel to try it out.
thanks people :)
2.6.16.17 running fine with GLX and legacy nvidia drivers
if anyone wants the patched legacy driver tarball I have it etc
Is that the patch?

yes, thats looks like it, its the same filename anyway
when i actually patched the extracted nvidia driver sources it only reported back saying it had patched one .sh bash script. but it worked fine so .
it is unofficial however and they say on nvnews.net that a new legacy driver with the functionality of the newer nonlegacy driver will be coming out in the near future, will full 2.6 kernel support etc.
