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!

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