users.tkk.fi— Digg helped the Nouveau project get new dumps over a month ago. Now out of 245 nvidia cards, 112 cards are missing and 121 are old dumps. If you have an nvidia card and linux please help.

i agree with you, but i honestly think the people running the Nouveau project are doing something wrong...why the hell do you need new dumps of the cards every 30 days? i know a bit of coding and i'm sort of working on a graphics API and whenever i change a component in my apps, i know what changes and how to update what works with what...i guess the Nouveau people aren't that smart...hmm
Er, I don't know how seriously to reply to you, because you may have just forgotten your </sarcasm> tag, but I think it bears saying:People do this to gain experience, to help out the community, and to do what they love. It's their hobby. Don't you do things you aren't paid to because they're fun? Some people birdwatch/knit/write/whatever without getting paid to do it because it's fun for them. Same with open-source programming.You do what you love, you get better at it, you talk to friends and achieve something. What's bad about that?
It worked so nice on my OpenSuSE 10.2 with nv44, geforce 6200 turbocache ... th createdumps.sh script could do the jobs easily ... Just make sure you are using Xorg server not Xgl server ... do that by gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xglthen restart the X ...

Live CD is likely the easiest and quickest to create with the only downside being a reboot. Good thinking nick0909.

Instructions for Fedora Core 6:1. Install the necessary packages with the following command (as root): yum install libXvMC-devel SDL-devel cvs dialog2. I had to run the following command for linking to work (as root): ln /usr/nvidia/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.9755 /usr/libXvMCNVIDIA.so The version number after ".so." may be different for you.3. Download <a class="user" href="http://www.ping.de/sites/koala/script/createdump.sh">http://www.ping.de/sites/koala/script/createdump.sh</a> and make it executable: wget <a class="user" href="http://www.ping.de/sites/koala/script/createdump.sh">http://www.ping.de/sites/koala/script/createdump.sh</a> chmod +x createdump.sh4. run createdump.sh and follow the instructions: ./createdump.sh If compiling fails, you might be missing a file. Find out what file is missing and run: yum provides INSERT_MISSING_FILE_HERE

You need to run it, but not INSTALL it. You can install stuff in most livecds if you have enough ram :) I dumped within my ubuntu, that works to ;)

Digging because open source needs people's support.
