Re: devFS patch for NVidia drivers

[Tom Duffy <tduffy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

first off, I would check irc.openprojects.org #nvidia for the patch.

secondly, you can always add the entries in /dev/ at bootup with the
following lines added in your /etc/rc.local

        if [ ! -c /dev/nvidiactl ]; then
            nvmajor=195
            for nvminor in 0 1 2 3; do
                mknod -m 0666 /dev/nvidia$nvminor c $nvmajor $nvminor
            done
            mknod -m 0666 /dev/nvidiactl c $nvmajor 255
        fi
