Are the files in /usr/src/linux-2.6.28-ARCH/include/asm-generic what you're looking for?

@turingcat Nice question because the content of the directory differs a lot between the 2.6.27 and the 2.6.28 kernel. It seems that the kernel devs rearrange it. Take your preferred search machine and search for: kernel "2.6.28" "asm-x86"

If your problem is the nvidia driver than it could be nice for you to take the last beta. They works well for me but i use kde3 so this don't must be valid for you.

it should be asm-x86,i think.

It seems that files be now under "arch/x86/include/asm" instead of "include/asm-x86". But don't ask me why.

There seems to be a workaround for this:

1. Copy include/asm-x86/asm-offsets.h to /arch/x86/include/asm. This was the only file in my asm-x86 folder and I didn't want to change the symlink and cut anything off from it.
2. Symlink include/asm to ../arch/x86/include/asm

But because you write your own code perhaps it will be better to search the header at another place.
