I have not been able to install the prop nvidia drivers to kernels 3.3.x. I get a complaining screen:
ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
the patch/correction is present in 295.33
The nvidia instructions and readme are no apparent help or I do not understand.
Nvidia got some of the necessary patches needed to build under kernel 3.3, but not all. You can get what you need from http://www.lwfinger.com/nvidia_patches. Those patches are designed to be applied to the extracted Nvidia material from a 'sn ./NVIDIA.....run -x". If you want to use Nvidia's mechanism to patch the .run file, then you need to remove the first directory entry in the patch control lines. For example, "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.33.orig/kernel/conftest.sh" goes to "kernel.orig/conftest.sh", etc. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
