[Xen-users] xen 3.2 x86_64 + linux 2.6.18-8-xen + nvidia 169.09 patch (works for me)

[emisca <emisca.ml@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've updated the patch for the nvidia driver, so it compiles (not too
much cleanly, but compiles). I've tested it on Debian Etch x86_64,
etch-backports xen 3.2 and the xensource linux 2.6.18.8 kernel from
mercurial (downloaded and compiled with the xen source 3.2.0 tarball
scripts).

I have 3d working (I've tried openarena), multi-monitor and hdtv
output on my geforce 8400gs pci express. I don't know if an agp card
and or i386 will work.

If someone wants to try it:

Please send me any comments about this patch (if it's wrong, if it's
bad etc etc).

On the dmesg I have the usual:
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

but although this, it seems to work.

Emilio
