Bug 117996 – media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178 + linux-2.6.15 VM changes patch

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rick Harris 2006-01-06 00:26:45 UTC]

Since linux-2.6.15 has gone stable, nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178 & nvidia-kernel-1.0.8174 require a small patch to be up to date with 2.6.15's new VM changes.

Read here -> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=765888&postcount=3

The patch is written for 8174, but also applies cleanly against 8178.

This stops the error similar to this:

X does an incomplete pfn remapping<0> [<b0155369>] incomplete_pfn_remap+0xf9/0x110
 [<e173dd12>] nv_kern_mmap+0x4f1/0x522 [nvidia]
 [<b01587db>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x47b/0x7e0
 [<b0108f77>] sys_mmap2+0x87/0xd0
 [<b0102e4b>] sysenter_past_esp+0x54/0x75

Not hugely critical, X still works fine, just 3D performance is affected.

Thanks :)

Thanks for the attachments. I tried it, I still get errors on 2.6.15-mm1 . I am not able to try vanilla 2.6.15, because I have reiser4 filesystems and reiser4 is not in the vanilla tree yet. Attaching portage log....

FieldySnuts, you're bug has nothing to do with this bug.

Please open a new bug so that your posts may have some relevance, thanks.

Ebuild & patch test fine, using x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 + sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.15

This also fixes bug #115417

Ebuild 1.0.8178-r1 committed with cumulative 8178 patch NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8178-U122205.diff.

my stupidity. It would have helped if I installed modules properly :(
