384.98 patch: 4.15-rc1-384.98.patch · GitHub
340.104 patch: 4.15-rc1-340.104.patch · GitHub

The 384.98 patch includes a (hopefully temporary) modification of the nvidia licence which might make distribution of any resulting work an issue.

Tested and working in LibreELEC (384.98 with GTX 950 and 340.104 with ION2).

Thanks for the patch for 384.97.

But, patched driver has failed to install.

Here is the log;

Seemingly you haven’t applied the patch which changes the driver license.

Ah.
I’ll wait until becoming free from the license problem.

Thanks.

I’ve noticed that 4.15-rc1 with 340.104/ION2/Atom D525 will reboot the kernel when resuming from suspend, and then boot successfully.

4.15-rc1 and a Skylake i915/i5 NUC is also unable to resume from suspend - I haven’t investigated but it goes into a continuous reboot loop so the kernel is most likely panicking.

It might be s a general issue/bug with 4.15-rc1 and power management, one that will hopefully be fixed in 4.15-rc2 or a later rc.

4.14.2 on both 340.104/ION2/Atom and the i915/i5 Skylake NUC resumes from suspend without a problem.

Just mentioning it here as I don’t think this is a GPU driver-related suspend/resume issue.

Resume issues discussed on lkml.org: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/4/988

Hopefully fixed in 4.15-rc3.

The resume issue is now fixed in 4.15-rc3.

Milhouse,

I just tested your patch for NVIDIA driver 340.104 with Linux Kernel 4.15-rc5-git-5aa90a8 and it works well. Great work!

Your patch had to be combined with previous patches to be fully functional and produce the two kernel modules “nvidia” and “nvidia_uvm”.

The full patch on the attached image indicates your patch highlighted in yellow. [url]https://imgur.com/a/gJlTp[/url]

Patch nv_patch_340.104_linux_kernel_4.15 is also attached to this post in a zip file.

Thank you!

Yes it’s incremental, which is to say you apply it on top of the 4.14 patch which you can find here: 4.14.patch.
