According to the nVidia web site, 390.116 fixes the kernel API changes for v5.0. It is supposed to work with the GTS450. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thankyou Larry. works. just saved US$300, was contemplating purchase of a GTX 1060 ti 6gb. may still spend the money as darktable (photo software) will utilize gcpu memory, but ... tks again, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You are welcome. Before you buy a new card just to get the driver to compile, you should be able to get help on-line. For example, the problem with 390.87 is that kernel 5.0 removed do_gettimeofday(). The fix for an out-of-kernel driver that I maintain was as follows:

#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(5, 0, 0)) u64 ts; ts = ktime_get_boottime(); return ts/1000; #else struct timeval tv; do_gettimeofday(&tv); return ((u64)tv.tv_sec * 1000000) + tv.tv_usec; #endif

I have not looked at the nVidia code, but the changes will be similar.

That $300 price for a 6GB GTX1060Ti looks a bit high. I just purchased a 6 GB GTX1660Ti from Newegg.com for $290. I would expect the 1060 to be closer to $200. One thing to watch is the size of the card. The new one was a tight squeeze in the Dell box. The 1660 is nearly twice as fast as the 1060 in most tests.

tks. what I was looking at is: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GAMING OC 6G Graphics Card, 3 x WINDFORCE Fans, 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6, GV-N166TGAMING OC-6GD Video Card $299 at newegg I believe the difference is three fans on this card and it is the 1660 rather that 1060 and the case I have is quite large and unless I measured incorrectly it will fit. are you happy with yours? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I mean is better to buy a AMD video card, which not nees a propietary driver, and now with the kernel 5.0 works better: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.0-AMDGPU-Stable https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Radeon-Gaming-Graphic-GV-RX580GAMING-8GD/dp/...
