no problem. that is why i joined this forum, to get and give help. I just tryed editing the diff file like I had said and it was successful for me as well. I now have a 1680x1050 resolution, nvidia drivers 180.44 installed, and full 3D support! :o
@anyone
I'm going to attach the diff file i used to patch ubuntu 9.04 kernel version 2.6.28-11-generic if anyone wants it.:popcorn:
I have the same problem only difference is that my laptop has Nvidia 7600 GO card which has 128MB memory and I tried modify the diff file so that it creates a space of 128MB but it didn't work, can someone post a diff file for this card ?Quote:

well... what can i say - oh, yes i know: thank you! i've been following this post for almost a month now, but until tonight i didn't have success in patching my kernel (i've tried 3-4 times, but i was getting different errors, which thankfully you lads have covered throughout your posts). i'm using ubuntu 9.04. next step: enable compiz and then sort out this nasty cpu whine. once again, thank you all.
WELL DONE thank you so much man ... :popcorn:
This guide actually worked! Thanks! I was stuck with getting the graphics card to work.. I didn't want to run Ubuntu on 640x480! Now I got compisiting running. Thanks again!
I wonder if I could do the same thing with Gentoo Linux....
You sure can!Quote:

Hopefully, the changes to the kernel will be released soon, and this will be history!

PS : Oh, and you obviously don't need fakeroot, etc. You just need your standard system (assuming you can build packages), you need to patch the kernel (either with a patch file or the way I described earlier in this thread), make and install and then do your nVidia build.
Working through this process on Linux Mint, I found :
in the 2.6.28-11-generic kernel.Code:if (!r->flags)
continue;
pr = pci_find_parent_resource(dev, r);
if (!r->start || !pr ||
request_resource(pr, r) < 0) {
dev_warn(&dev->dev, "BAR %d: can't allocate resource\n",$
/*
* Something is wrong with the region.
* Invalidate the resource to prevent
* child resource allocations in this
* range.
*/
r->flags = 0;
}
Don't know if it has anything to do with the problem, but 2.6.31 is in development now, so hopefully TJ will be able to get it in soon (if it isn't already - I've searched some changelogs with no luck...)
Here's to wishful thinking !

I am using a acer 9815 aspire laptop.. and shall also try out this patch to see if it works with my 4GB of ram upgrade..
since hopefully it will just create a new kernel option in grub then should do not harm :).
was wondering if anyone else had tried it that is not a 9500m gs card ? and got on k ?
I am using kubuntu 9.10 btw.. and really like it.
