not sure about that patch but all I did was add
unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE = 128 << 20;
right after:
#ifdef MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR
MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR(NV_MAJOR_DEVICE_NUMBER);
#endif
in the nv.c file and ran the installer. Worked perfectly
fine after that. I am currently running the *-667 kernel.
Are you making sure your xorg.conf file is setup properly?
