I used gcc 2.95.4 this time and got a little farther.... module
compiles/inserts fine but now when I try and start X I get the following
message
(==) NVIDIA(0): Write-combining range (0xe3000000,0x1000000)
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate LUT context DMA
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
My roomate who's running an almost identical machine except with a
geforce 2 doesn't have any problems...
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking about submitting a bug to
nvidia....
