Re: Nvidia drivers + gingin

[Chris Chuter <cchuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Matt, thanks for the pointers. It appears that the linux source included with
gingin64 is missing the define tag for non-smp systems (in version.h in the
linux source dirs).

Is gingin64 not ready for single cpu AMD64 systems?

If I add the define (e.g. ifndef UTS_RELEASE, define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.20-9.2")
to the source in the Nvidia kernel drivers, things compile, but I get many
unresolved symbols. So my guess is that gingin64 is missing a few modules
needed for the nvidia kernel module. Would you concur, Matt?
