The 418.43 driver (nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default) package works fine:
$inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel Device-2: NVIDIA GP107GLM [Quadro P600 Mobile] driver: nvidia v: 418.43 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: modesetting,nvidia unloaded: intel resolution: 3840x2160~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Quadro P600/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 418.43
According to the nVidia web site, 390.116 fixes the kernel API changes for v5.0. It is supposed to work with the GTS450.
tks, trying
Thankyou Larry. works. just saved US$300, was contemplating purchase of a GTX 1060 ti 6gb. may still spend the money as darktable (photo software) will utilize gcpu memory, but ...
tks again,
You are welcome. Before you buy a new card just to get the driver to compile, you should be able to get help on-line. For example, the problem with 390.87 is that kernel 5.0 removed do_gettimeofday(). The fix for an out-of-kernel driver that I maintain was as follows:
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(5, 0, 0)) u64 ts; ts = ktime_get_boottime(); return ts/1000; #else struct timeval tv; do_gettimeofday(&tv); return ((u64)tv.tv_sec * 1000000) + tv.tv_usec; #endif
I have not looked at the nVidia code, but the changes will be similar.
That $300 price for a 6GB GTX1060Ti looks a bit high. I just purchased a 6 GB GTX1660Ti from Newegg.com for $290. I would expect the 1060 to be closer to $200. One thing to watch is the size of the card. The new one was a tight squeeze in the Dell box. The 1660 is nearly twice as fast as the 1060 in most tests.
I mean is better to buy a AMD video card, which not nees a propietary driver, and now with the kernel 5.0 works better: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.0-AMDGPU-Stable

And never You will have drivers problem with this card!
maybe, maybe not. I need to utilize darktable and opencl support is still somewhat iffeeey on Radeon cards. Not so much so on NVidia cards. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
