Hi,

finally I can boot on X with this post
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=60125&page=9

$ sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.15-pkg2.run --extract-only
Creating directory NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.15-pkg2
Verifying archive integrity... OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 195.36.15......................................... .................................................. .................................................. .......................

$ cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.15-pkg2/usr/src/nv/
$ patch -p0 < ~/nv-hack.txt
patching file nv-linux.h

$ export IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1
$ export SYSSRC=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source
$ export SYSOUT=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
$ make clean module
<a lot of noise here>
NVIDIA: left KBUILD

$ sudo cp nvidia.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/video/
$ sudo depmod -a
$ sudo modprobe nvidia

I do this and work well.

Thanks

Hi Sylvain,

Are you installing the driver into Dom0? Dom0 is officially not a supported environment by NVIDIA. However, people have been able to get 3D-accelerated applications to function correctly in Dom0, but not yet with CUDA. See here:

I personally am interested in enabling the CUDA stack to work in Dom0.

Using PCI passthrough via VT-d works when you boot an HVM guest and install the driver within the VM.

What do you wish to do once the driver is loaded? Run CUDA apps, or 3-D apps, or just enable X11 to load?

Also, please give more information, other than "impossible to load".

-Alex
