Is there a patch for the nVidia driver 340.76 so that it can install to kernel 4.0x? Or is the problem in the latest Tumbleweed kernel?

Don't know about 340.76, but NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.12.run and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.17.run don't have a problem on my system, Tw and kernel-desktop-4.0.0-1.1.x86_64. Perhaps 340.76 is too old, try a newer package. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The problem is that my graphics card is the GeForce 8600 GTS. So I have to use a legacy driver. Do you think I can get away with a newer version? Any thoughts?

You can go the the nvidia site and see if newer packages are compatible with your card. I don't have a copy of 340.76, but have 340.65. You could try installing a newer version. If it doesn't work, just reinstall 340.76 or 340.65 from me or go to: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/ and get 340.76 or whichever version suits you. I have had several packages not work and just replaced them with another. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Actually, I believe that this is the best version of nouveau to date. The reason I was asking is that I have not been successful installing the legacy driver. I can always stick with nouveau. Cheers!

Fan works without stop. It becomes hot. It has far more artifacts than nVidia drivers (e.g. scrolling literally hurts eyes).

Those are the errors you need to correct. Leave the patch the way it was, but you would need to use -p0, not -p1. The number controls how many directories are stripped. The second way would work with -p1, but you need to get rid of the leading /. The paths need to be relative, not absolute.

Then type:

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.76.run --apply-patch nvidia-340.76-kernel-4.0.patch

When finished, the name changes to NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.76-custom.run and is now compatible with kernel 4.0x for installation.

Cheers!

Hello all,

Is there a patch for the nVidia driver 340.76 so that it can install to kernel 4.0x? Or is the problem in the latest Tumbleweed kernel?

That is the same patch that I found on the nVidia devs Linux forum. I would like to apply that patch to the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.76.run driver without extracting the entire driver. Cheers!
