nVidia nForce2 AGP chipset driverek FreeBSD-re

Címkék

Jó hír az nVIDIA nForce2 FreeBSD tulajdonosoknak. Matthew Dodd portolta az nVIDIA által a nár napja kiadott nForce2 chipset drivert a FreeBSD-current-hez. Ha esetleg "panic"-kal találkoznál, arra az esetre azt javasolja a fejlesztő, hogy töltsd be mint modult.

I suspect using this will result in a panic so load this as a module.

Now that nVidia has released kernel patches for Linux to support their AGP

chipset (see http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_nforce_1.0-0261), is it

possible to easily port these patches and include them in the agp(4) driver?

How does one start with such a thing?

Best regards,
