I have not been able to install the prop nvidia drivers to kernels 3.3.x. I get a complaining screen:

the patch/correction is present in 295.33

The nvidia instructions and readme are no apparent help or I do not understand.

tks,

there's threads at oS forums, where this problem has been discussed and patches provided to solve it.

personally i didn't have to deal with this yet since i'm still on kernel 3.1.9-1.4, but if this doesn't get fixed soon, i may have to. here's the URL of one of these threads:

Shortcut is to run these commands to generate the missing files: cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make prepare cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source/arch/x86/include/ cp -v generated/asm/unistd*.h ./asm/ # the last line (below) must contain the correct path and file name Then install as usual with: sh /root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.33.run Or roll the lot into a script.

The author of the previous link missed one change that was needed for my system.

If you go the http://www.lwfinger.com/nvidia_patches, you will find a patch file to build Nvidia driver 295.33 using kernels 3.3 or 3.4-rc1. There is also a README.txt that tells you what steps to take.

Larry

Patches usually appear first in the NVidia forum www.nvnews.net. As I test bleeding edge kernels I catch these changes quite early and report them and where I can I supply a patch.

* Larry Finger [04-05-12 21:08]:

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.
