[opensuse-factory] Patch for NVIDIA driver on kernel 4.6
To users of NVIDIA hardware: A tested patch for the 340.96 Nvidia driver using kernel 4.6 has been sent to me. Since this is the TW kernel, I am posting it here for interested users. With minor modifications, it should work for other Nvidia drivers. Larry -- If I was stranded on an island and the only way to get off the island was to make a pretty UI, I’d die there.

Is there any good reason to not use their last 367-18 version which work without any patches with TW ? I'm using this never version with 4.5.4 and 4.6.0 kernel without seeing any major kind of trouble. Perhaps there's something I missed then ??? -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi My GPU Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT only supports the 340.96 driver.... so yes ;) -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE Leap 42.1|GNOME 3.16.2|4.1.21-14-default up 3 days 5:19, 4 users, load average: 0.18, 0.17, 0.16 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635 @ 2.90GHz | GPU Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Ok make sense for older hardware ... Seems it's too late to continue working Oh and the inverse for my Quadro M2000M :-) Have fun -- Bruno Friedmann openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
