Nvidia's last IA64 driver is ancient and requires a quite old kernel (I think 2.4) so you might be able to use it.


I'm pretty sure I remember being able to compile the nVidia IA64 driver for a 2.6 kernel on an IBM Intellistation...but I could be completely wrong...


You're right, it looks like it worked years ago around 2.6.6: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-ia64 ... 01974.html

I wouldn't expect it to work now - since it's Linux there's no dedicated development tree, it's been several years, and breaking this sort of thing is intentional. I'm sure most everything has changed in the kernel.
