Drivers nvidia 340.101 Gentoo Linux 4.8.14: compilation failed.

[markos2017]

I am using gentoo linux amd64 with a kernel 4.8.14 in a pc with Intel dual core with Nvidia geforce 210.

Can I use your patch in my system and compile with good luck?

I try to compile the nvidia-drivers 340.101 but this process failed.

Apply the following PATCH to NVIDIA Driver 340.101 for it to work with Linux Kernel 4.9. It adds 4 lines of code to the nv-drm.c file to enable the “DRIVER_LEGACY” flag if kernel version is >= 4.9.0.

PATCH / Filename: patch_nv1 http://pastebin.com/raw/mSwYvy1L

Basic Procedure for Applying PATCH to NVIDIA Driver:

1. Download the following NVIDIA binary/driver file from NVIDIA website for Linux: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.101.run
2. Go into CLI/Terminal
3. Provide execution permissions: chmod 755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.101.run
4. Extract: ./chmod 755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.101.run --extract-only
5. Copy Patch File “patch_nv1” into “NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.101” directory
6. Go into (cd into) “NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.101” directory where patch file is now located
7. Apply Patch: patch -p0 < patch_nv1
8. Proceed with NVIDIA Driver Installation, Enjoy!

Tested on my Linux system & runs very well, both nvidia.ko & nvidia_uvm.ko compile and load without any issues.
