I've checked the Forums but don't see the answer to my question: is there a patch for the latest nVidia driver 319.60 so that it can be compiled for the 3.11.x kernel.
Does anyone know, please, if such a patch exists and if so where is it to be found?

Basil: I just downloaded the newest Nvidia driver for my GeForce 8400GS ( 331.20) from the Nvidia site. I installed it WITHOUT any patches using jdmcdaniels' lnvhw script.
Rebooted, no problems so far. Also downloaded the Linux 3.12.0-1.ge8fa6b4-desktop kernel and will try it latter today.

Well, the driver will not compile with the 3.12 kernel UNLESS one adds the option, '--no-unified-memory' and then it will compile.
One obstacle has been removed - the patch - but this has been replaced by another - this '--no-unified.....' thing.
What I want to know, is WHAT exactly does this option do? Is this some sort of regression in the driver's efficacy?

Thanks for feed back.

Just ran into this earlier today. Have not tried it yet. i think is supposted to read --no-unified-memory. At least thats' what my installer log showed. error I got was: CODE -------- nvidia-linux.ko failed to build. error 1. try again using --no-unified-memory -------- I uninstalled 3.12 kernel (12.3) earlier when it would not install the Nvidia driver. I have it on 13.1 and I'll try that. If it works then I'll try on 12.3. -- openSUSE 12.3(Linux 3.11.1-3.gfeffbf9-desktop)|KDE 4.11.2 |Intel core2duo 2.5 MHZ,|8GB DDR3|GeForce 8400GS (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
