The kernels video API was changed withn the first 2.6.25 release
candidate,
and the driver available in the .12.run package will not build on 2.6.25-x
kernels, unless they have released a new driver in the last 24 hours or
so.
I gave up, there is now an ati based 2400HD in this system. But I can't
watch tv with tvtime now, that overlay interface is missing from the
radeonhd
driver.
Check the nVIDIA forums. There is a patch for this problem available for
download.
As a tv engineer, that sucks, so I'm damned either way.
As a tv engineer, you are damned no matter what.
