You guys should read the Beta forum. The patch you need to modify the nvidia drivers can be found at http://www.lwfinger.com/nvidia_patches/. The file readme.txt in that directory will tell you what to do. As you did not say what specific driver you wanted to use, I'm not sure what file to recommend; however, if it is a 3xx.yy version, then the one for 304.60 should work. Note, these patches will not let the nvidia drivers build under kernel 3.8 (yet).

ERROR: The kernel header file

'/lib/modules/3.7.1-16-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in '/lib/modules/3.7.1-16-desktop/build' have not been configured.

Due to a change in the upstream kernel /lib/modules/3.7.1-16- desktop/build/include/linux/version.h' was moved to '/lib/modules/3.7.1-16- desktop/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h'

The nvidia installer is not yet aware of that change. You can make a link in /lib/modules/3.7.1-16-desktop/build/include : linux->generated/uapi/linux. as workaround. This link is also needed to compile other out of tree kernel modules like the vmware module.

With that link NVIDIA driver versions 3.10.19 and 3.13.09 can be installed without changes in the driver source . Older versions of the NVIDIA driver may need additional changes in the driver source.

Thanks, booted 3.7.1 kernel with 3.13.09 nvidia driver bundle.

The problematic part, which needs still to be adapted in the nvidia sources , seems to be kernel/conftest.sh script at select_makefile). The if [ -f $HEADERS/$FILE -o -f $OUTPUT/include/$FILE ]; statement needs to be extended to be aware of the new location of version.h. But changing it to if [ -f $HEADERS/$FILE -o -f $OUTPUT/include/$FILE -o -f $OUTPUT/include/generated/uapi/$FILE ]; doesn't seem to work.

I suspect the 3.8 patch would also fix 3.7.1. Of course, I have not tested. My basis for saying that is that nVIDIA fixed most of the API changes from 3.6 to 3.7, except for the uapi header changes.

Sid, Thanks for this link. I did not test that patch; however IIRC, 310.19 already has those changes. What is missing is the include path directive for arch/x86/include/generated/uapi.

Thanks for this link. I did not test that patch; however IIRC, 310.19 already has those changes. What is missing is the include path directive for arch/x86/include/generated/uapi.
