Thank you Markus, I was searching the wrong way. for the record how to do: - download http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html (Latest Short Lived Branch version: 325.15) for me: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-325.15-driver.html - download http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/*checkout*/rpms/nvidia-kmod/devel/kernel_v3.11.patch?revision=1.1&root=nonfree - sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15.run --apply-patch kernel_v3.11.patch (type "kernel/nv-linux.h" as file name to patch) - sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15-custom.run Just to mention: I am getting some artifacts and flickering on second monitor (GTX560-Ti) while login process. But fan is silent now and Beta1 testing can go on :) greetings, 0x90 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hello,

I'd like to know if anybody already figured out how to install nvidia-driver.

Have a look at https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/610580/linux/325-15-drivers-do-not-....

Hi!

We will have a repository for some proprietary drivers, such as the Fedora Project:, that has the kmod-nvidia and kmod-catalyst drivers?

See X11:Drivers:Video. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Where is this repo?

On build.opensuse.org, of course. osc co X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG03 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

To install the Nvidia propietary driver,I installed gcc, make, the kernel-devel packages and source.

When I try to install the latest driver for the Nvidia Go 7150 video chip, version 304.88, in any try I got the message that the installer don't find the version.h file in the kernel sources, and couldn't complete the installation of the video driver.

The installer has blacklisted the nouveau driver, and I created a new initrd, and then the screen goes readable, but without ·3D acceleration. I tried to find what driver is using lsmod,and I find a driver named "video".

How can I make to install the propietary video driver, because the nouveau driver is useless?

Thanks

Hi Juan, Use the attached patch and apply it the downloaded NVIDIA*run driver that works with your graphics card. You must download the driver from the nVidia website. Cheers!

The last one should work as it revises three different files in the kernel directory. Let me know ho it turns out. Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You do not even need that highly dubious part of the patch anymore, the kernel has been fixed already to allow this driver to compile again.. it is in rc4.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=65...

Thanks, Christian. That is great news! It's interesting how a previous patch applied a number of years ago to the kernel broke the newer binary blobs. However, somehow, the full-time engineers at Nvidia missed this change. Usually the newer drivers should be changed. Yes? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Or, am I reading the patch wrong? We'll see this in 3.12.rc2 and up. -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

???? The chamge that broke the driver was only added in 3.12rc.. not years ago.

Oops! I was looking at the originating date of: Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Please note that the following open-source licensed code was moved from files bus.c to scan.c in the Linux open-source kernel. The scan.c file already contained the entry: <--------- snip -------------------------------< int acpi_device_add(struct acpi_device *device, void (*release)(struct device *)) <--------- snip -------------------------------< But was missing: <------------ snip ----------------------------------------------------< int acpi_bus_get_device(acpi_handle handle, struct acpi_device **device) } return 0; } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(acpi_bus_get_device); <------------ snip ----------------------------------------------------< Hence the patch. -- Cheers!

Roman Roman: I found this patch (or one almost exactly like it) was needed with my Nvidia GeForce 8400GS and the Nvidia 325-15 driver for both 13.1 Beta 1 and 12.3 latest updates. See my Sign. below. Works fine on both versions of OS.
