Users with Kernel 4.7 e.g. from Kernel_stable repository currently need a patch for most recent stable Nvidia driver 367.35.

I attached the patch for interested users.

The idea comes from: NVIDIA – Possible Kernel 4.7 Fix for 361.45.11 and 367.18.. Posted on May 31, 2016 by RG http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1750

also works for Nvidia driver 367.35 I saved the patch, but do not understand how to apply.

I tried: sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run -aqs --apply-patch ./nvidia-367.35-kernel-4.7.patch

but that fails :( Okay. I didn't know the undocumented (?) "--apply-patch option.

You can install the patch this way. I have downloaded "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run" to /usr/src. You need the "rm" command only, if the driver is already extracted to /usr/src: mybox:/usr/src # \rm -r NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35 mybox:/usr/src # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run -x Creating directory NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35 Verifying archive integrity...
