Hi,

i kinda got them to work on

2.6.11-rc1-V0.7.35-00

I needed two patches called:

NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1165235.diff.txt

and

NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1171869.diff.txt

(attached)

With these patches applied i got a black screen which was cured by
adding:

Option "NvAGP" "2"

to this section of my XF86Config-4:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Generic Video Card"
# Driver "nv"
        Driver "nvidia"
        Option "NvAGP" "2"
EndSection

This makes 2D ops a bit slower than usually, but i can frag again :)

Have fun
Flo
