kernel 2.24.23 upgrade kills nvidia support

please add nvidia support to the .23 release
and place a notice that users will have to edit
/etc/X11/XF86config
and change
Driver "nvidia"
to
Driver "nv"
to allow X to run

---

Off to using Peanut and Slackware, no hard feelings but I need my CD to burn, PDA and scanner to connect and arch won't do it.

Re: kernel 2.24.23 upgrade kills nvidia support

are you sure about that?

did you remember to reboot after upgrading the kernel, then re-build the NVIDIA driver with:

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496.run

Re: kernel 2.24.23 upgrade kills nvidia support

Edit: First reboot after kernel upgrade or you will get errors from nvidia-installer. BTW nvidia-installer writes log in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
It can be usefull sometimes :-)

Reinstalling nvidia drivers shoud work. If you deleted the original nvidia driver file you can download it with (it's always a good idea to have wget and links installed):

wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run

and than:

export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=true
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run

No changes in XF86Config are necessary.
