Xen users - Dec 2007 - Anyone able to compile Nvidia on Ubuntu 7.10 or Fedora 8

Hi,

Is there anyone following this list who could compile any version of nvidia
driver on Ubuntu 7.10 or Fedora 8 running XEN? (kernels 2.6.22-14 for Ubuntu
or 2.6.21 for Fedora 8 )

Thanks,

The open source nv driver should work with xen out of the box, but you 
may lose some good features like 3d acceleration that you are supposed 
to get while using proprietary nvdia drivers. If you want nvdia 
proprietary drivers to work with xen, the effort should come from 
Nvidia, I think.

HI Sadique,

Thanks for your response. However, we used to be able to use nvidia modules
with some patches in the past. I''m reading some success still with
latest
versions, however, I never got it to work with Fedora 8 or Ubuntu
7.10kernel. some patches applied to the kernel seems to block the
build (nvidia
build process can''t find kernel version somehow).

I''m a home XEN user, so I need it not only for 3D, but for better
performance (scrolling is not good on my system with nv) and TV-Out.

Thanks,

Emre
