Yes, the kmem_cache_t removal patch is not important. The new 9755
driver doesn't need to be patched at all.

At least the 9631 version of the Nvidia video driver did not
compile after the patch was applied and the kernel successfully

Problem: A bunch of obseleted #define SA_..... entries
in the linux source/include/linux/interrupt.h
They say do not use in newer code but Nvidia does need them.
Solution: Copy these from an older or unpatched version of this
file and then paste into the new one. One need not rebuild the
kernel since these are no longer used there. After do this,
Nvidia will build and run fine (so far).
Don't "fix" the kernel, but fix the drivers ;)
Patches for 9746 driver attached.
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?
OK, I have to ask a really stupid question. I was told that no special kernel modules or proprietary drivers are required in order to get Nvidia graphics chips working: the free "nv" driver is supposed to work just fine (for 2D anyway, which is all I need).
Am I missing something? Did I make a boo-boo by buying a machine with an Nvidia chip?
no, nv works fine. But, I need the 3D for this:

Anybody help? I was fine w/o the realtime kernel. Now, I'm stuck.
