Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-1-rt

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-1-rt (version 2.6.22.1-1.1) is missing the nvidia driver. However, I was able to compile and install it with m-a using the nvidia-new-kernel-source package, and it works just fine on the -rt kernel. If possible, it should be included in l-r-m.

The RT and Xen kernel images export symbols as GPL-only, which the nvidia and ati modules need. Because of this, these modules cannot be built against these images.
