Description anshul nigham 2006-02-25 04:59:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
Installing and running the latest graphics driver from nVidia (version 1.0-8178)
fails to build the kernel module required for graphics. I'm not sure if this is
a kernel/GCC/X problem, but I do know that it works with FC4 built to the latest
kernel (2.6.15-1.1831_FC4)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.15-1.1955_FC5

How reproducible:
Run the driver installation test script

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8178/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1.run
2. Run the script.
3.
  
Actual results:
Reports failed to build kernel module.

Expected results:
Should build the kernel module correctly (and does so with 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4)
