I recently downloaded and compiled/installed the newest kernel (2.5.2). I had eveything running fine (except for a few minor things that I'm still trying to work out) except for my NVidia drivers. With the distro kernel, I was able to download the RPM for MDK8.1 and load it up...change the XF86Config-4 file and WHAM!! NVidia he we are! But then when I upgraded to the 2.5.2 kernel - no joy. So I read somewhere on one of these postings that you couldn't run the same drivers with a different kernel - which made sense. So I downloaded the source files for the NVidia Kernel and GLX modules. Since then, no matter what I try, I get the same error(s) everytime I try to compile the NVidia kernel. I am running enlightenment OVER Gnome and there is a NOTICEABLE difference when the NVidia driver isn't running. Can anyone please, PLEASE help?!?!
Thanks, Charlie P.S.> Here's the error code that I get when I try to "make" the NVidia Kernel...... # make rm -f nv.o os-interface.o os-registry.o Module-linux nv_compiler.h NVdriver cc -c -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-multichar -O-D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES -D_X86_=1 -Di386=1 -DUNIX -DLINUX -DNV4_HW -DNTRM -DRM20 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DRM_HEAPMGR -D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES -DNV_MAJOR_VERSION=1 -DNV_MINOR_VERSION=0 -DNV_PATCHLEVEL=2314 -I. -I/lib/modules/2.5.2b_nvidia/build/include nv.c nv.c: In function 'nv_kern_open': nv.c:1149: invalid operands to binary & nv.c:1153: invalid operands to binary & nv.c: In function 'nv_kern_close': nv.c:1260: invalid operands to binary & make: *** [nv.o] Error 1
