It almost certainly didn't, as you have to do some major ugly and evil things to get the NVidia driver to build (it won't pass modpost if the kernel is built with lockdep due to the GPL-only exports that get sucked in). > I have no idea how NVidia managed to work around that problem, but > VMware modules suddenly depend on this GPL-only symbol, although nothing > in the module sources refers to lockdep (same sources which worked > yesterday are being used). It doesn't reference it directly - it gets sucked in via a #define. --==_Exmh_1152067666_2945P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD4DBQFEqyhRcC3lWbTT17ARAje5AJjE6TxT7Gr84wuWX+ypLrfAdAdzAJ0QUXZK sBnEj/dm7MGRdqIjHt160Q== =I7vt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1152067666_2945P--
