Hello there.
I have problems with nvidia module, no answer from nvidia dudes. So i
thought some of SDLgroup people can help me. While some of you are using
nvidia cards on linux (i guess most):

so. i have geforce 2 mx 400 on agp x4…
works fine under others™ systems.
i’ve got fresh up2dated (without kernel) redhat 7.3.
but kernel update would not change anything …

this what i’ve got:

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
and it has unresolved symbols. The module may be trying to access
GPLONLY symbols but the problem is more likely to be a coding or
user error. Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they
can help you.

sorry for polution.

I got this message when I tried to compile the NVdriver against kernel
sources which didn’t match the running kernel. I.e. if you’re using a
precompiled kernel image, you need to configure certain key elements of your
kernel sources just like the precompiled kernel image is configured.

Some of the relevant configs are probably SMP vs. non-SMP, processor
architecture, memory model (does it support bigmem?), but I don’t have the
specifics on that. Oh, and you’ve obviously got to make sure that the kernel
versions match

nvidia are the only people who can really help you. This is why binary
kernel modules suck.On Mon, Jun 24, 2002 at 05:27:13PM +0200, Grzegorz Jaskiewicz wrote:

NVidia ships a combination of binary and source code so that you CAN
recompile to match your kernal. The trick is that you have to have
kernal source that matches your kernel. The dude mentioned up2date, the
default config for up2date doesn’t down load new kernels. It is pretty
simple, I know, I’ve done it, to get the kernel binary and the kernel
source out of synch using up2date. Get the source to match you kernel
and try again. I run NVidia cards (GeForce2 and TNT2) in two different
machines (in a former life on an entire rendering cluster) and the
NVidia drivers work just fine once you figure out how to get them to
work at all.

ok. i’ve got solution, found on bugzilla.
1st upgrade kernel to 2.4.18-5 (sources too).
2nd download tar.gz not rpms
3rd unpack , make, make install
4th edit XFree86 config.
5th /etc/security issues (problems with nvidia devices permissions).
6th startx, q3arena and enjoy
