Hello, Since kernel 6.10 is officially released, we are still missing a working patch or a newer version of this driver. In my case, nvidia-470.256.02 will not build the kernel modules; using the patch adapted from the open gpu kernel modules repository will result in the GPL-only symbol errors: …

Can you, please, provide more details about why the older 470.239.06 would work instead of the latest 470.256.02 ?

@philmmanjaro Thank you for the patch; it allows to build the kernel modules with kernel 6.10. I can also confirm that it builds and works with: 6.6.41 (vanilla and MANJARO specific) 6.9.10 (vanilla and MANJARO specific) 6.10 (vanilla and MANJARO specific) Again, thank you !

Appears that 555.58.02, and 550.100 won’t build right with Linux 6.10.
Thank you for the info that Linux 6.9.9 works.
