2.6.24.4+debian+openvz doesn't work with nvidia-glx
 

Hi, folks.

I'm trying to switch my vserver installation to openvz, but meet some
problems:

I get openz's git, prepare a patch from it, then get debian kernel
(2.6.24.4 + debian patches) and compile all this together.

It looks like it works (I didn't test it well, but at least kernel has
some api vzcrtl uses.), but nvidia closed source drivers don't.

It's kernel part compiles well, module loads, but Xserver can't get
connection to kernel part, and says something like "could not
initialize device". Nvidia driver version 169.12-1 from Debian Sid.

Can anybody comment this? Is there any success stories with
openvz+nvidia-glx?

After you recompile 2.6.24.4 (why not .5?) how do you install the nvidia
driver?


Hugo

Ah, you right, that was 2.6.24.5 (I play with linux-2.6 source package.)

>how do you install the nvidia driver?
Don't worry, I know this part,
aptitude install linux-headers-2.6.24-1-openvz-686
m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source

Oh, problem was in vmalloc. default limit is 128M, but openvz+nvidia
wants ~130 %)
passing vmalloc=256m to kernel boot command line solve the problem.

Is the card supported by that version of nvidia-glx?
