I read somewhere it's to do with the stack size, and found this post, ####### Go to your kernel source directory and use "make menuconfig" to enter the kernel configuration. Disable: "Use 4k kernel stacks instead of 8k stacks" (Kernel Hacking) Build the new kernel and boot with it. If everything works you should be able to use the nvidia drivers. ######### HTH Colin -- Fedora Core 1, Custom Built Kernel 2.4.26 Registered Linux user number 342953

They seem to avoid the test releases because things change and break. The good news is that the opensource drivers: #Driver "nv" # unaccelerated open #Driver "vesa" # unaccelerated open are fast and work well with 2D stuff. If you can do without OpenGL for a while use these. The mismatch is that the 2.6 kernel has a different stack size than the 2.4. kernels. Thus nVidia drivers built for 2.4. fail on 2.6. A handfull of people are building private kernels with the old stack size and running the old drivers. I think that Test3 is good enough to go and visit the nVidia forums and ask for test bits to run on 2.6 kernels with the new stack size. The correct place to ask more about this is on the Fedora Test mailing list and the nVidia forums. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

A lot of this list's readers use thread sorting so your query ends up nested in a thread not related to your request. In order to get the most of this list, you might want to start a new message to fedora-list(a)redhat.com, that way everybody gets to see your message , hence you get the most exposure and the probability of a good answer rises HTH & good luck Thierry
