I saw this in another thread when I searched for "patching kernel":
So, I wan't to patch the kernel with nforce2 agpgart support. The file is called linux-2.4.20-agpgart.diff.
So, after emerging the vanilla 2.4.21 kernel (going for stability), I copy linux-2.4.20-agpgart.diff to /usr/src and then
? After that, I just need to specify that my drivers (ati-drivers) use the nvagp and not the kernel one right?
And also, for the nforce2 network driver, whether i build nvnet.o from nvidia's tarchive or emerge nforce-net, I then have to run
to make sure that the module loads on boot, correct?
This is all for gentoo if you can't tell btw
Code:
cat patchfile.patch | patch -p0
