The (latest, released last week) nVidia driver 319.49 will not compile with the just-released kernel 3-11-0.
I was under the impression that this problem was already known about for quite some time and already fixed.
Is there a patch, please, to overcome this hassle? Should you not be asking nvidia instead? (They really ought to do better than that.)
Not as far as I am concerned. The 319.49 driver was released 2 weeks ago and it had the change in it which made it compilable under the 3.10.x kernel -- prior to this the driver had to be patched before it would compile. So, nvidia worked the new driver and released it and I had NO trouble with compiling it under 3.10.11 "as is", ie without a patch. But then 4.11 was made available..... and the goal posts were moved several metres..... once again. I am surprised that nVidia has the patience to put up with the constant moving of the goal posts - even while the game is in progress. I know of one developer who gave up with keeping his application up-to-date because of the constant changes for which he had to make adjustments which would satisfy the various distributions. The app. k9copy hasn't been touched for 3 years now and if you want to make a backup copy of your favourite DVD, for example, you now need to go MS. Sad really.
