Binary graphics drivers?Binary graphics drivers?Posted Sep 8, 2005 10:57 UTC (Thu) by NAR (subscriber, #1313)Parent article: 4K stacks for everyone? I seem to remember that there was a warning in the kernel configuration option about breaking binary-only modules such as NVidia and ATI drivers if the stack is only 4k. Was this problem fixed?

Binary graphics drivers? Posted Sep 8, 2005 13:00 UTC (Thu) by sbergman27 (guest, #10767) [Link] Although I am currently running x86_64, which uses 8k stacks, I have run the same machine on i386 Fedora (4k stacks) with the NVidia drivers with no problem.

Binary graphics drivers? Posted Sep 8, 2005 18:25 UTC (Thu) by flewellyn (subscriber, #5047) [Link] As I recall, the nVidia graphics drivers were fixed to work with 4k stacks at around the time 2.6.7 came out. Either .7 or .8. It's been awhile, though. I have been running with 4k stacks and the nVidia driver for several kernel versions with no incident.
