Hi everyone,

First i'd like to thank all of the RT developers for pushing 3.0-rt
out.  I had (somewhat) been keeping an eye, on the list fro progress ~
when i decided tonight to install 3.0.1-rt8 (as this seems to be
fairly solid now).

the compile and install went fine, successful boot, etc.

Now, i have a question. Does Nvidia 280.13 need to be patched for RT?

I am an Archlinux user, and usually i would expect to see a pkgbuild
in the Arch User Repository for Nvidia-rt (driver + patch), but so far
i have not run across an nvidia patch..

if anyone knows the status on this, or has the available patch -
please let me know.

thanks

jordan

This is covered on another thread on this list. You need to 'patch'
the kernel, not the driver, some symbols are exported as GPL which
prevents the driver from being used.

This is a licensing issue though, so I've held off implementing that
patch in my own kernel PKGBUILD in Arch (linux-rt-ice). I think it is
illegal to distribute such a patch, though using it on your own
machine may be fine (those who are more knowledgable should correct me
on this).
