I've now built these packages and have just uploaded them to the testing repository. The packages are named: kmod-nvidia-96xx nvidia-x11-drv-96xx We need testers to test these packages. The 96.43.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html GeForce2 MX/MX 400 0x0110 GeForce2 MX 100/200 0x0111 GeForce2 Go 0x0112 Quadro2 MXR/EX/Go 0x0113 GeForce4 MX 460 0x0170 GeForce4 MX 440 0x0171 GeForce4 MX 420 0x0172 GeForce4 MX 440-SE 0x0173 GeForce4 440 Go 0x0174 GeForce4 420 Go 0x0175 GeForce4 420 Go 32M 0x0176 GeForce4 460 Go 0x0177 Quadro4 550 XGL 0x0178 GeForce4 440 Go 64M 0x0179 Quadro NVS 400 0x017A Quadro4 500 GoGL 0x017C GeForce4 410 Go 16M 0x017D GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X 0x0181 GeForce4 MX 440SE with AGP8X 0x0182 GeForce4 MX 420 with AGP8X 0x0183 GeForce4 MX 4000 0x0185 Quadro4 580 XGL 0x0188 Quadro NVS 280 SD 0x018A Quadro4 380 XGL 0x018B Quadro NVS 50 PCI 0x018C GeForce2 Integrated GPU 0x01A0 GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU 0x01F0 GeForce3 0x0200 GeForce3 Ti 200 0x0201 GeForce3 Ti 500 0x0202 Quadro DCC 0x0203 GeForce4 Ti 4600 0x0250 GeForce4 Ti 4400 0x0251 GeForce4 Ti 4200 0x0253 Quadro4 900 XGL 0x0258 Quadro4 750 XGL 0x0259 Quadro4 700 XGL 0x025B GeForce4 Ti 4800 0x0280 GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X 0x0281 GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE 0x0282 GeForce4 4200 Go 0x0286 Quadro4 980 XGL 0x0288 Quadro4 780 XGL 0x0289 Quadro4 700 GoGL 0x028C |

The latest nvidia driver is built against kernel -128, and is kABI compatible with kernels >= 2.6.18-128 (up to -164 at this time). Thus, kmod-nvidia-96xx-96.43.14-1.el5.elrepo is built against 2.6.18-128. |
|
|
Presumably we need to add some conflicts to prevent users trying to install both legacy and current nvidia packages? conflicts: nvidia-kmod conflicts: nvidia-x11-drv |
|
|
Yes, I think adding those Conflicts lines would do the job. |

|
kmod-nvidia-96xx (built against 2.6.18-128) appears to be kABI compliant with all current RHEL5 kernel series: # find /lib/modules -name nvidia.ko | grep 'nvidia-96xx' /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5/weak-updates/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/extra/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.6.1.el5/weak-updates/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/weak-updates/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5/weak-updates/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/weak-updates/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.2.1.el5/weak-updates/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5/weak-updates/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko |
