Hi,
I have a GT218 [GeForce 310] card.
The latest driver on Nvidia site is 340.107
I am planning to move to RHEL 8.1 with current kernel 4.18.0-147
But the kernel driver module does not compile on this OS.
Is it possible to use my card with the above OS?
I contacted Nvidia support, they referred me to this forum.
thanks

Please use a repo driver like rpmfusion, those are patched to work with the rhel kernels.
340 is EOL by end of this year, btw.
rpmfusion also have stopped supporting, I guess.

I was looking for an update from Nvidia developers before the driver goes EOL.
thanks

patch applied without errors.
and referred instructions at
to create installer.
successfully created a installer file.
but when running the patched installer,
failed at kernel module build step.
thanks

What build errors are shown?
You’re running into the same compile error as here:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1047179/linux/-solved-nvidia-340-107-linux-5-0-rc5-failed-to-build-kernel-module/post/5382540/#5382540
There’s also a different patch in that thread.
Hi,
please see updated error log after new patch.
thanks

According to NVIDIA schedule, the 340xx driver is planned to be EOL by the end of the year.
Despite it works with the xorg-server version provided by RHEL up to 8.1, we (rpmfusion) don’t plan to introduce it for RHEL 8 and even newer Fedora.
That been said, if anyone volunteer to maintain this driver within the rpmfusion project by testing and collecting patches needed for the updated kernel, please do consider joining the efforts:

A more reliable alternative is to use nouveau instead for this hardware.
Not prefect work around.
.
Install kernel-ml (5.3)
as per
and
install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.107-kernel-5.3-patched.run
from
Most installed apps seems working except vlc from RPM Fusion.
thanks

Please report the issue with vlc to bugzilla.rpmfusion.org as it’s working fine with most RHEL users.
You might have hit something specific to you.
An easier setup that wouldn’t requires any patching is to
Use the COPR repository kwizart/kernel-longterm-4.19 using:
dnf copr enable kwizart/kernel-longterm-4.19
dnf install kernel-longterm kernel-longterm-devel
And manually fetch the akmod-nvidia-340xx xorg-11-drv-nvidia-340xx from
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/30/Everything/x86_64/os/repoview/letter_a.group.html
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/30/Everything/x86_64/os/repoview/letter_x.group.html
Also the repo you are using will switch to a newer kernel version at some point and it will likely requires others patches. Best would be to switch to the 4.19 longterm kernel instead
Reported bug to bugzilla.rpmfusion.

Tried installing on 5.4 kernel.
fixes/patches anyone?
thanks
Thomas Stephen Lee
Moved to this patched driver.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-340xx/
VLC still not working though.
vlc working after
yum reinstall ocl-icd
as per suggestion of rpmfusion maintainer.
Hi,
the new driver from Nvidia (340.108)
https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/340.108/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108.run
works fine on RHEL 8.1 with the default Linux kernel (4.18.0-147.3.1)
thanks
