Yes I did
It's not that difficult: I've got SuSE 7.0 with xfree86 4.0.2 (SuSE
packages) and Kernel 2.4.0 final. Take the nvidia 0.9-5 tarballs. Unpack
them. Apply this patch (attached patch < patch... from within the
NVIDIA_kernel directory):
Okay, if you try to compile it complains about some unmap stuff.
Open nv.c
Go to line 860. Remove all the lines from and including the else
expression. Go some lines up and remove the if expression looking for
the right kernel version. Now, you have the declaration for the 2.4.0
kernel, right.
Save and exit
Now do a make.
For beeing sure copy the NVdriver to /lib/modules/2.4.0/video/NVdriver
Try a modprobe NVdriver. With a lsmod it should appear now. Okay no
configure X and glx as before.
Works perfectly on my system
Enjoy
Marcel
