Hi!

Seems like some people have problems applying your patch.
I have put up a small howto how to compile the NVIDIA_kernel
with linux-2.6 at http://deltaanime.ath.cx/~blight/nvidia_kernel_with_2.6.html
The only thing what breaks it is that the version is no longer below 2, 6, 0 
which the 2.5 patch uses to check wether it's 2.5 or not ;)

hope this helps some poeple,
  Gregor

Strange you should say that as yours is the only reply I've seen.  Is there 
somewhere else that someone is saying they're having problems?

Yes, I know that works, but I felt like extending the definitions instead of 
making it treat 2.5 and 2.6 as if they're identical.  OK, they probably will 
be now, but I've never likes taking things for granted.
