Re: hibernate anyone?

Good news everyone,

I've achieved some success.

First, I've tried to patch NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1 to get it
compiled with TuxOnIce linux-2.6.23 (actually Gentoo
tuxonice-sources-2.6.23-r6). I've finally prevailed, but found out
that the driver doesn't work (hangs-up the machine).

But, I've also succeeded in patching NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7185-pkg1.
It works (not tested much, yet, but at least Xserver starts and runs).

So, here you go the patch. Just unpack the sources using

$ NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7185-pkg1.run -x

then apply the patch:

$ cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7185-pkg1
$ patch -p0 < /path/to/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7185-pkg1.TuxOnIce.patch

and then run the NVIDIA installer as root:

# ./nvidia-installer

Note that you have to disable nvidiafb module in kernel; otherwise,
the nvidia module can't load as commented here:

Let me know about your experiences.

vencik
