sorry for my english i'm from poland

I don't have an nv card so I can't really test it but I am putting it up in case someone wants to give it a go

I expanded this from nvidia's site
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linu ... 2-pkg1.run

and made this sfs
http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/apps_s ... g1_412.sfs
md5
http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/apps_s ... fs-md5.txt

you'll need these to compile against
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributio ... ppy4.1.sfs
or these
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributio ... 1retro.sfs

as well as the devx_XXX.sfs
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributio ... modules-4/

BUG NOTE
/usr/X11R7/lib/pkgconfig/xorg-server.pc should include
sdkdir=/usr/X11R7/include/xorg

in the source directory you'll need to type
make SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux-2.x.y module

I used nvidia for module and got an error 2 for nvidia.o & finally gave up for the night
