Provide support for your > GART.Have a Nforce2 motherboard, so GART for the NForce2 chipset isn't supported. Upgraded to the 2.6.0-test9 kernel, worked fine, but as I'm using an on-board NIC, I have to use an driver from NVidia, and it wouldn't compile saying /usr/src/linux/modversions.h were missing - I guess its because its a different kernel entirely - so catch 22 situation, either have GART support for NForce2 chipset, or have Internet access. But then again, trying glxgears gave the same error message as the old kernel plus one more line, even tho dmesg shows the AGPGART driver finding the NForce2 chipset, and the G550 graphics card.Any ideas? Thanks very much for your help again :)
nForce2 GART support is in 2.4.22 and newer kernels. The nVidia drivers have been modified (via a patch) to compile against 2.5.x and 2.6.x kernels. If you want I can email you the patch, or you can Goolge for it, or search the threads at nforcershq.com. modeversions.h is only present after you make [config|oldconfig|xconfig] and then 'make dep' Also, what is in the Xfree86 log? -Roberto
