I wonder whether anyone had the same problem with me. I have a GeForce 3
video card and it works perfectly on a usual 7.2 system with the binaries
provided in nvidia.com. However now I'm using a customised kernel (since
I'd like to use XFS), therefore I got the SRPMs, rebuilt and installed
them. The previous version had slight problems whereas 1.0.1541 simply
doesn't work at all. I have no idea how it might clash with XFS resources
or XFS capable kernel but I'd appreciate if someone could shed some light.
When I observe the XFree86.0.log I see the drivers loaded perfectly and
GeForce 3 is recognised at PCI 1:5:0 but then I get the following
problem...
The final lines in XFree86.0.log is:
-----
(==) NVIDIA(0): Write-combining range (0xf0000000,0x4000000)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate a DMA push buffer using AGP memory...
(WW) NVIDIA(0): attempting to use PCI memory
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate a DMA push buffer context
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate DMA push buffer
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***

I reported the problem to Nvidia but they didn't even respond.
I don't think they care much about linux. Yet if you had the same
problem or have an idea on the cause let me know.

BTW I think XFS is great and I appreciate your efforts. Looking forward
to see the 1.1.0 release...
