Bad issue with installer version: 340.108 NVIDIA G84 GeForce 8600GS

Hi Guys.
Wish everything was ok for you.

I open a New topic with this 2nd attempt for installing Drivers on Fedora 31.

Despite the installer process wad done (execpt passing over GCC version warning) I still have a black screen when I reboot).

I thought that all the prerequites wad good.
(Dnf update ; dnf groupinstall devel; dnf install headers…)

I let you see the installer log and Xorg.O log.

Read you later.
Thanks in advance.

I Wonder if the cause of my problem could be that Linux don’t recognize m’y screen and then assigns its capacities to default values.

Because of compilation errors of (340.108 dec 2019 version) , I Wonder if (340.107 june 2018 version) could fix my problem…

On the official nvidia’s I Saw the two next informations about those 2 différents versions.

@NVIDIA

(AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver Recommandé par NVIDIA 340.108 23.12.2019

-Updated the nvidia-drm kernel module for compatibility with the removal of the DRIVER_PRIME flag in recent Linux kernel versions.

-Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to search the systemd journal for gdm-x-session logs.

-Fixed a bug that could prevent nvidia-xconfig from disabling the X Composite extension on version 1.20 of the X.org X server.

-Added support to nvidia-installer for systems which provide ncurses libraries supporting the ncurses widechar ABI only.

-Updated nvidia-installer to avoid problems with commands whose proper functionality may be dependent on system localization (e.g. via the LANG environment variable.) For example, some kernel configurations may produce unusable kernel modules if LANG is set to a language other than English.

-Updated nvidia-installer for better compatibility with ncurses when libncurses.so.6 exposes the ncurses reentrant ABI, such as on openSUSE Leap 15 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15.

-Fixed a build failure, “too many arguments to function ‘get_user_pages’”, when building the NVIDIA kernel module for Linux kernel v4.4.168.

-Fixed a build failure, “implicit declaration of function do_gettimeofday”, when building the NVIDIA kernel module for Linux kernel 5.0 release candidates.

@NVIDIA

Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver Recommandé par NVIDIA	340.107	6.6.2018

-Updated nvidia-installer in the 340.xx legacy driver series to default to installing the driver without the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module if this module fails to build at installation time. The 340.xx legacy Unified Memory kernel module is incompatible with recent Linux kernels, and the GPU hardware generations that the 340.xx legacy driver series is intended to support do not support Unified Memory.
Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 24 (xorg-server 1.20).

-Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to check for kern.log which is the default kernel log-file location for many Debian-based Linux distributions.

-Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video Driver ABI earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11 applications which call XRenderAddTraps().

Wish I read you soon.

Best regards
