Kernel Fun – nvidia Driver
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008So, I decided to update the kernel on my laptop today to the latest and greatest (2.6.27.2 at the time of this posting). Unfortunately, it has a nvidia card on it, and the nvidia drivers you can get off the repositories don’t work.
So, what did I do? Of course, I did what every programmer does best. I dived into linux header files and the nvidia source and changed a few things around. My result was a working nvidia for 2.6.27.x
Here’s the link to the source. Should work on all 2.6.27.x

Happy compiling
