Weird, I run 2.4.6-pre2-xfs with the nVidia 1.0-1251 drivers and they
compile just fine. Oh and they even work. (just checked by switching to X
and back to terminal).

Will add a entry that the 1.0-1251 nVIDIA drivers work with current CVS.
There are multiple people on this list using the nVIDIA drivers and XFS on
their system and I have not seen reports that everything broke.
XFS is a filesystem, it doesn't touch much else in the kernel.
It would be hard to imagine that it breaks their drivers.

At that time the 0.9-6 drivers did compile. I only switched to the 1.0
drivers when the CVS eached 2.4.5 or so.
