Re: patch for the nVidia driver and -CURRENT

[Patrick Hartling]

Does anyone have this working with GDM 2.4.1.3 on -current?  I've found 
that I can use the nvidia driver with Maxime's patch on a freshly built 
-current system as long as I don't use GDM.  If I start up GDM, the 
system freezes as soon as the nvidia logo is replaced by the GDM login 
screen.  In the end, it doesn't make any difference to me if I use GDM 
or XDM, but I would like to know if there is some existing problem with 
the accelerated nvidia driver and GDM or if my local X configuration is 
somehow broken.  Thanks.

    Hi all,

Recent interface changes made the nVidia driver unbuildable on -CURRENT.
The attached patch should make it work as it used to.  Please let me
know if it doesn't.


Yes!  <Mmmmmwahhhh!> [Big kiss to Maxime]  Thank you!

The only thing I needed to do to make it work was to delete this line
from nv-freebsd.h:
#error This driver does not support FreeBSD 5.0/-CURRENT!

As long as you are patching you may as well patch that one also, yes?
