All,
The G03 (340), G04 (390) and G05 (470) Nvidia drivers build without further patching on the 6.11 kernel. Since starting the patch scramble last week, this looked to be the case, but had not tested since Arch has not yet put out the 6.11 kernel in its core repo.
(openSUSE TW Beats Arch on 6.11 kernel -- should be the byline)
The open-source driver for current cards and GPUs did need some patching and there was an open question whether changes to the fbdev header in the kernel would need a patch for the closed source drivers as well.
Nope, all good!

We haven't has a smooth minor version bump since 6.8 -> 6.9 (and none in memory before that for a long time). Small favors.
I am having problem with kernel 6.11.0-1-default (no gui) with Nvidia G05. I used your packages for the 6.10 series kernel and they have worked until now, with the 6.11 series kernel. I had added the modified Nvidia packages manually not with 'drankinatty' repo. Should I start a new topic for this? -Thanks
