Hi,

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

 According to lspci I am using a 
 nVidia Corporation GeForce 7600 GT (rev a2)
 PCI card.

 Before posting dumps and logs I want to ask, whether this is a
 general problem, a "bug in front of monitor"-problem or something
 totally different??!?!?!

 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
 mcc

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
always do this. Otherwise you are just wasting the list member's time. Posting 
errors and logs is not a waste of their time.
