[opensuse-factory] nvidia drivers and kernel 3.4.0
As usually new kernel... new problems with compiling the nvidia propietary driver this time fails to find (asm/system.h), a file dropped by kernel. fortunately someone proposed on nvidia forum a patch that makes the driver to compile (I have attached the version that works) allegedly it applied to both 295.49 and 302.07 I checked only the later. NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-302.07.run --apply-patch nvidia.patch and then run the custom script created. regards, Alin -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Alin Marin ELENA Advanced Molecular Simulation Research Laboratory School of Physics, University College Dublin ---- Ardionsamblú Móilíneach Saotharlann Taighde Scoil na Fisice, An Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://alin.elenaworld.net ______________________________________________________________________

yep. they are unnecessary. I have some home-made nvidia drivers. and they're working well, but I even don't know there are any new patches for 3.4 btw I'm using 295.40 marguerite -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I did say to read the readme.txt :-) . The latest patches for 240 and 249 are not required for the 3.3.x kernel - only for the 3.4 kernel. BC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

That is exactly what the readme.txt says. Nvidia has caught up with kernel 3.3.X, and the 295.4X drivers need patching only for 3.4-rcX. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
