This is the nvidia official patch for the 2.4.20 kernel

This comes with the official nforce2 drivers. can it be added to the gentoo
kernel patches? I have succesfully used it in the gaming-sources-2.4.20-r3. It
might work with the gentoo-sources. Or, add it as another ebuild which patches
the kernel afterwards. I am using it with an ATI Radeon 9200 SE using glx and
dri in a shining new Athlon XP 2600, in a shining new gentoo installation.
