Tom,
where did you get these patches? I have an MX4000 and apparently the
last nvidia driver to support this chipset is v9731, but I can't get it
to work. I assume I need these patches and possibly copy over the
obsoleted #define SA_..... entries?

And, what is the "migration helpers patch"?

Basically: do you know what I need to do to make the nvidia driver
version that works for MX4000 work?

thanks!
brad
