Nedavno sam promenio plocu, CPU i graficku(Epox 8RDA+,
T-Bread XP 1700+, MSI FX5200 GF4) i nakon instalacije drajvera
za graficku vise nisam mogao da startujem X u Mandrake9.1 linuxu, jednostavno monitor kao da legne u standby.
OS se cak zakuca nakon komande 'startx' tako da ne mogu ni da kilujem X nego moram na grubi restart.
MORAM DA NAPOMENEM DA ZNAM ZA SVA PODESAVANJA STO SE TICE
XF86CONFIG-4. ("nv" --> "nvidia".....) JER SAM I RANIJE IMAO NVIDIA
KARTICE KOJE SU RADILE BESPREKORNO SA ISTIM DRAJVERIMA.
Procitao sam gomilu postova i ovde i na mandrake.co.yu i na nekim stranim forumima i nisam nista uspeo. Moram da priznam da dosta ljudi ima sa ovim problema gledajuci po stranim forumima i probao sam raznorazne varijante.
Sa skriptom NVchooser.sh sam dobio neverovatnu poruku da treba da skinem drajver i kernel i to 2313 verziju ?!!??!
Pokusao sam insmod i modprobe i ne znam sta sve ne, i nista, cak sam probao i tarball verziju drajvera. Probao sam i kod momaka u nvidiji da se konsultujem i oni su mi samo rekli da flesujem BIOS jer navodno Epoxove ploce imaju neki problem sa AGP portom vezano za linux, ako se dobro secam. Ako iko zna o cemu se radi neka javi.
Vrlo je interesantno da sam pri pokusaju sa modprobe dobio ovakvu poruku:
Warning: lodaing /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o
will taint the kernel: non-GPL licence NVIDIA
Ono sto sam uspeo u vezi ovoga da nadjem na netu je tekst koji govori bas o tome:
What does it mean for a module to be tainted?
(REG, contributed by John Levon) Some vendors distribute binary modules
(i.e. modules without available source code under a free software license).
As the source is not freely available, any bugs uncovered whilst such
modules are loaded cannot be investigated by the kernel hackers. All
problems discovered whilst such a module is loaded must be reported to the
vendor of that module, not the Linux kernel hackers and the linux-kernel
mailing list. The tainting scheme is used to identify bug reports from
kernels with binary modules loaded: such kernels are marked as "tainted" by
means of the MODULE_LICENSE tag. If a module is loaded that does not specify
an approved license, the kernel is marked as tainted. The canonical list of
approved license strings is in linux/include/linux/module.h.
"oops" reports marked as tainted are of no use to the kernel developers and
will be ignored. A warning is output when such a module is loaded. Note that
you may come across module source that is under a compatible license, but
does not have a suitable MODULE_LICENSE tag. If you see a warning from
modprobe or insmod for a module under a compatible license, please report
this bug to the maintainers of the module, so that they can add the
necessary tag.
(KO) If a symbol has been exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL then it appears as
unresolved for modules that do not have a GPL compatible MODULE_LICENSE
string, and prints a warning. A module can also taint the kernel if you do a
forced load. This bypasses the kernel/module verification checks and the
result is undefined, when it breaks you get to keep the pieces.
(KO) According to Alan Cox, a license of "BSD without advertisement clause"
is not a suitable free software license. This license type allows binary
only modules without source code. Any modules in the kernel tarball with
this license should really be "Dual BSD/GPL".

Instalacijom NVidia drajvera 'zaprljao' si GPL tj "besplatan" kernel delom koji nije pod GPL licencom (da li je neko video sors NVidia drajvera? Da li je sors dozvoljeno modifikovati ? Naravno da ne.). Developeri kernela se stoga ogradjuju od ovako ubacenih modula, i kao sto kazu, ne zele da imaju nista sa tim (u smislu prijavljivanja bagova i sl.) Za bagove se dakle treba obraditi NVidiji.
