kmod-nvidia and xorg 1.5

[mike cloaked]

Now that xorg-x11-server version 1.5.x is being made available for f9 does anyone
know if a corresponding kmod-nvidia is likely to be pushed from livna soon?

Thanks

OK I have now found a solution - maybe this is already widely known but I only
just discovered that it is easy to build the kmod-nvidia yourself...

For f9 it seems that installing akmod-nvidia will build the necessary module
at boot time if it is not already there, and for f8 it is easy to build
manually following:

http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2

Maybe this will help others - anyway I now have my f8 running fine with
the nvidia module with the 2.6.26 kernel.

You need to take a look at akmods. I haven't tried them myself, but
fedorasolved.org should have details on them.

I found with the latest kernel, xorg, and akmod-nvidia, my Thinkpad T61p
(Quadro FX 570M) freezes solid on resume from suspend.  Any
confirmation?  Suggestions?

More importantly, my T61 (the T61p is borrowed for testing) has a Quadro
NVS 140M.  I'd like to upgrade from Fedora 8.  Can anyone confirm
Fedora9 with latest updates and nVidia drivers is working with that
hardware--esp. with respect to suspend or hibernate?

Thanks.

Excellent idea. I forgot all about the akmod stuff. Been excluding kernel
updates for nearly a week now to avoid losing my nvidia drivers. Installed
akmod-nvidia and all is well again.

As soon as livna buildsys is back on-line.
