Introduction

See the following guide to make NVidia drivers work on xen kernel. I managed to do it with and AMD64 Edgy eft with the 2.6.16-11.2 xen kernel installed quite as in the [XenVirtualMachine/XenOnUbuntuEdgy] page. The only difference was the use of the 2.6.16 kernel instead of the 2.6.17 as the 2.6.17 did a "kernel panic".

You will need to:

• Install xen
• Download and extract the NVidia drivers
• Download the patch
• Patch the nvidia drivers
• Compile and install the nvidia drivers

Make Xen 3.0.3 work

See [XenVirtualMachine/XenOnUbuntuEdgy] for more help.

Download and patch

First, get the NVidia drivers ont the NVidia web site. Here, we will assume you downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9631-pkg2.run file on your home directory.

When downloaded, extract them:

cd ~
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9631-pkg2.run -x

Get the patch with

wget http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=20801&d=1159874953
mv attachment.php\?attachmentid\=20801 ~/patch-nv-1.0-9625-xenrt.txt

Go to the NVidia kernel source directory

cd ~/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9631-pkg2/usr/src/nv/

and apply the patch

patch -p1 < ~/patch-nv-1.0-9625-xenrt.txt

Prepare to install

Before compiling and installing, you should be sure that no other nvidia driver is present in your system. You can remove any nvidia-* package with

sudo apt-get remove nvidia-*

and eventually uninstall old NVidia drivers with

sh ~/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9631-pkg2.run --uninstall

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the device section, replace

driver "nvidia"

by

driver "nv"

Finaly, reboot on your xen kernel.

Compile and install

Simply go to the NVidia source directory

cd ~/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9631-pkg2/usr/src/nv/

and run

make
sudo make install

Configure your Xorg.conf

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the device section, replace

driver "nv"

by

driver "nvidia"

Finaly, restart your X server and cross your fingers.
