[Xen-devel] Compiling nouveau open source nvidia graphics card drivers for Xen paravirt-operations domain 0 kernel

["Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)" <enming.teo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Xen developers,

I am using Xen paravirt-operations domain 0 kernels 2.6.30-rc3 and 2.6.31-rc6 cloned from Jeremy Fitzhardinge's kernel git tree.

I am trying to compile the nouveau open source drivers for NVIDIA graphics cards.

I am following the nouveau kernel module build instructions at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM

Specifically, I am following Section

3.2. Alt: Rebuilding your existing kernel with new DRM and Nouveau parts

in the nouveau kernel module build instructions.

However, when I am compiling the kernel and kernel modules (using make), it encountered an error with the translation-table map (TTM) GPU video memory management driver.

*** How can I exclude TTM from being built? ***

I would like to exclude TTM from being compiled. May I know which build scripts do I modify?

I tried renaming drivers/gpu/ttm to drivers/gpu/ttm_orig in the kernel souces but it doesn't work.
scripts/Makefile.build:44: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31-rc6-enming.teo/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.31-rc6-enming.teo/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/Makefile'.  Stop.
make[3]: *** [drivers/gpu/drm/ttm] Error 2
make[2]: *** [drivers/gpu/drm] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/gpu] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


It simply complains that ttm directory cannot be found and Makefile in ttm dir does not exist. This is of course due to me renaming the ttm directory in the kernel sources. I want to prevent ttm from being built.

Thank you very much.
