Dear Masaru,
I have problems with suspend to ram, when I wake up the machine I see the mouse cursor, but I cannot unlock the KDE screen lock. The mouse is there, but the screen stays black. How about this patch?
+#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 13, 0) && defined(ACPI_HANDLE) +#define DEVICE_ACPI_HANDLE(a) ACPI_HANDLE(a) +#endif I now have used your patch with Linux kernel 3.14 and Nvidia driver beta 337.12 and it works fine! The machine can now resume from suspend and the screen is okay!
Maybe Nvidia should include your patch to their driver.
Your patch makes resuming work with kernel > 3.13.
Sorry to say this but the above is MOST annoying! :-( If I am wrong in my assumptions then please forgive me. I can only assume that your response to Masaru was to a private message between yourselves, but your response (above) was then also sent to this list. I have checked the archives for March and April and there is nothing from you, Malte, with the above Thread Subject - and there is no reply from Masaru giving the full patch. (I have tried to apply this "patch" to another driver and got back the response, "patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.") If you are going to provide a response to something which may be of importance to many people then please quote in FULL the most salient part of the advice you received from Masaru (ie, the full text of the patch). Having stated the above I want to advice you, and anyone else, that last night I downloaded the latest nVidia driver - 331.67 - from nVidia and compiled it for the 3.14.x kernel using dkms. It was a 'normal' install for driver 331.67 and kernel 3.14.0-2 using, "sh NVIDIA*.run --dkms" which compiled the driver without a hiccup. @ Masaru: At the beginning of this month (3 April) I asked if there was a patch to compile the 331.49 driver for the 3.14.x kernel and you provided the patch to be able to do so. Before asking my question I had looked at the nVidia's forum site to see whether there was such a patch but couldn't see any information. But then you came up with the full info. of a patch. My question now is: where do YOU find this information and where should I look to find information about the latest patch(s) when an nVidia driver fails to compile either normally or when using dkms? Would be most grateful for this information (as nVidia is becoming a real pain in the arse for producing drivers which have to patched in order to compile with the [latest] kernels - and seeing as how dkms may also fail to keep up with the latest changes).
