Public bug reported: The nvidia driver is broken by some kernel API changes in 2.6.28: * Some headers moved from include to arch/x86/include * acpi_driver_data(device) changed from a macro to a function and no longer yields an lvalue
Attached is a patch extracted from the Mandriva SRPM: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/10251610/com/dkms-nvidia-current-177.80-4mdv2009.0.i586.rpm.html The conftest changes in this patch looks like they will break compilation on older kernels, so the patch may need to be modified for the Ubuntu package. Until a fixed nvidia package is released, you can apply the attached patch in the /usr/src/nvidia-177.80 directory and invoke `sudo /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller start` to get a working nvidia driver. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nvidia needs a small patch for Jaunty kernel 2.6.28 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
