Dell Precision M4700 (Quadro K1000M) Previous kernel was 6.7.11 After installing the new 6.8 kernel, akmod fails to build the driver, complaining about DRM_UNLOCKED being undeclared 2024/04/06 21:12:06 akmodsbuild: gcc -Wp,-MMD,/tmp/akmodsbuild.BtIEQCzc/BUILD/nvidia-470xx-kmod-470.223.02/_kmod_…

The version 470.239.06 is not available actually for Fedora 39 so I used drm_ioctl.h from the previous version kernel 6.7.11-200.fc39.x86_64 and the build was succeed. This is just a workaround to build kmod-nvidia-470xx-6.8.4-200.fc39.x86_64-470.223.02-2.fc39.x86_64 The entries for the build in t…

It’s a straightforward process, but it’s really annoying to have to boot into the previous kernel, drop to CLI mode, reinstall the drivers, then bo…

I am using Fedora on my old Lenovo P50 workstation, currently without any ambitions in kernel or driver development. I am using the nvidia legacy drivers as they support my video card. The Fedora update procedure I settled on after getting burned with legacy akmod driver build is as follows: check…

FYI for those following this thread: nvidia-470xx-470.239.06 has been pushed to RPMFusion. New kernel updates auto-build the kmod appropriately once more. https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6904
