nodename_to_devnode.patch Edit (704 bytes, text/plain)

something to to with devtmpfs in 2.6.32 i think means
char *(*nodename)(struct device *dev);
is now
char *(*devnode)(struct device *dev, mode_t *mode);

i've attached a patch that makes the changes in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_sysfs.c. it builds and modprobe's the module fine, hopefully i havent missed anything silly. i'm sure there'll be a new nouveau for lucid so this should hopefully be a temporary fix until then

Actually, this is a bug in nouveau-kernel-source.

Furthermore, nouveau in Lucid is in a bit of flux; it looks like it'll be heading into Lucid's kernel, somewhere. Until that's sorted out I don't think I'll be updating the nouveau-kernel-source package.

Working nouveau packages for Lucid are available in the xorg-edgers PPA repository (either the main one, with xserver 1.7, or the xorg-edgers/nouveau with just nouveau packages), if you want to test them.

affects:

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) → nouveau-kernel-source (Ubuntu)

Robert Hooker (sarvatt) wrote on 2010-02-26:

nouveau-kernel-source is no longer a proper way to use nouveau in lucid, and the kernel modules are installed through a linux-backports-modules package automatically. It just recently picked up the proper conflicts/replaces for nouveau-kernel-source so it should be removed automatically as soon as the update is built.
