Most restricted drivers are available es extra package, in versions sepcifically compiled against specific kernels. (nvida-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-new)
Putting restricted nvidia modules in the kernel will not happen and for good reasons: + the kernel should be kept small, It's awful big as it is. + no one wants to taint the 100% GPL kernel with questionable closed-source binary garbage. + there are several different versions of the nvidia kernel modul, all with the same name. this is because nvidia maintains 3 or 4 generations of it's driver (7xxx, 9xxx, 11xxx, 1xx.11.x, ...). there are even modules not needed always, e.g. nv_agp. -- generic kernels should support 4 GB RAM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156804 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
