NVidia official driver on Fedora 2

[Thiago Vinhas de Moraes]

Hi guys,

Some time ago I asked the same question, but forgot the answer. What 
changes I have to make to the system, so I can properly run the official 
NVidia drivers on Fedora2?

Thanks,
Thiago

As I recall, someone answered that you should get a kernel from kernel.org, 
set CONFIG_REGPARM and CONFIG_4KSTACKS to "n" then recompile your kernel 
that way. You cannot use the Fedora kernel as it won't compile with those 
options.

Just from memory... search the archives for Truth.

Cheers,

Alternatively, get this kernel while you wait...

I just wanted to say that I tried the kernel from the link above and it 
works straight up witht the NVIDIA 5336 drivers I was playing Warcraft 
III a few minutes ago but I would like to recompile just for some 
optimizations does anyone know where the source for that kernel is.

The source rpm is on the same page -- is that what you
are looking for?

I think I need the actual source of the kernel, I thought the src.rpm 
was just for rebuilding the rpm but I'm just going to try a kernel from 
kernel.org and try turning off the 4k stacks.
