1 Hi,
2
3 I was using the vanilla linux kernel 2.6.27.4 from ftp.kernel.org.
4 Compiling nvidia drivers 173.14.12 for this kernel fails.
5 Compiling nvidia drivers 177.80 for this kernel results in
6 non-functional X (black screen, nothing else, reboot necessary via
7 CTRLALTDEL).

9 According to lspci I am using a
10 nVidia Corporation GeForce 7600 GT (rev a2)
11 PCI card.
12
13 Before posting dumps and logs I want to ask, whether this is a
14 general problem, a "bug in front of monitor"-problem or something
15 totally different??!?!?!

17 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
