I installed FC6 from the Linux Pro December 2006 DVD.
Then I bought a Wacom Intuos3 4.6 graphics tablet.
While trying to get it working I found out that 2.6.19 supports it.

I downloaded the 2.6.19.1 source, ran 'make oldconfig' using the .config that came with FC6 and accepted the defaults for the new bits.

The build and install worked, and I had no problems with it until I tried to build a new nvidia driver.

I'm using version 8773, and it fails with an error saying it cannot find linux/config.h.

The only linux/config.h I can find is an old one from 2.6.18, which does not work...

Any clues?

TIA
Jim

The only thing I can think of is maybe /ust/src/linux isn't pointing to the correct place. Shouldn't you have a file named config.h the include directory of the source?

That's where I would expect it, and where it is for 2.6.18-1. However it is not there for 2.6.19.1.

The only files named config.h present in the source tarball are
./linux-2.6.19.1/fs/dlm/config.h
./linux-2.6.19.1/net/tipc/config.h

and make does not appear to create one.

"However it is not there for 2.6.19.1"

Nope, it's not. Just "touch" it and add a blank one.

touch blah/linux-2.6.19.1/include/linux/config.h

Thanks. That got me past that problem, but then the build failed with some undefined labels.

I upgraded to 1.0-9631, the last one that works with my card, and everything worked.

Now I just need to settle down, stop random hacking, and read the instructions <shudder> and maybe I'll get my Wacom tablet working...
