[ATrpms-users] nvidia 9764 wfb module

[Paul]

Manually created symlink:

ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia-1.0-9746_drv.so nvidia_drv.so
and removed bad symlink
rm nvidia_drv.o

rebooted and nvidia loaded ok


but still no-go for the wfb module:

(II) Loading sub module "wfb"
(II) LoadModule: "wfb"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module wfb
(II) UnloadModule: "wfb"
(EE) Failed to load module "wfb" (module does not exist, 0)

Perphaps this is related to this issue?

BTW I don't have a 8800 so I can't really test the wfb anyway just testing the new package

thanks
Paul
