Hi guys,
due to bug #929, i did a backport of the nv driver from X.org to
our xfree86 tree. Since we are in deep freeze, this change will not make
it for the preview release, but i need people to test it asap.
You can grab the driver here:
http://people.no-name-yet.com/~fabbione/nv/
the md5sum has been signed by me with the same key i am using to sign this
mail (since it is only a binary driver you will be able to trust it ;)).
In order to test it:
wget http://people.no-name-yet.com/~fabbione/nv/nv_drv.o
wget http://people.no-name-yet.com/~fabbione/nv/nv_drv.o.md5sum
Verify that the md5sum of nv_drv.o matches with the one signed.
Log out from X and as root:
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
cp /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv_backup.o
cp nv_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.o
/etc/init.d/gdm start
If the new driver does NOT work you still have a backup.
Please report immediatly both failures and success.
Thanks a lot!
Fabio
