Hello. I have been reading through the nouveau wiki to figure out how I could compile the nouveau kernel driver for the linux 2.6.32-20 kernel specifically. Why I need to do this is kind of a long story, but I assure you it is necessary. And I can explain why if you are interested. I am currently running Debian 6.0 squeeze. The standard debian 2.6.32 kernel includes the nouveau drivers and I have verified that X works successfully on my computer. However, I need to compile the kernel from source. The specific patch and version number, 2.6.32-20, are important. I downloaded the 2.6.32-20 kernel directly from the kernel.org website. I was able to configure and compile it successfully; I verified that it booted and ran successfully as well. The problem is that the standard 2.6.32 kernel does not include the nouveau drm drivers. You might suppose I could use the source code for the debian 2.6.32 kernel, however I cannot get the specific patch level that I need. Is there a way I could obtain the drm driver folder without the rest of the kernel? It seems like the instructions provided in the wiki give you instruction for downloading the entire kernel source and configuring nouveau with the rest of the kernel. I just need a way of compiling the nouveau driver using the kernel version I mentioned above. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
