nvidia-367.35 DKMS build errors for a 4.7.0 kernel

Graphics / Linux Linux

I get the following errors when trying the nvidia-367 DKMS build for a 4.7.0 kernel:

I took at look at the changelog for the last few drm commits and found that the minor/master structure has been reworked I created a quick patch that is working fine for me:

thanks
the driver works fine

This patch won’t apply for me in openSUSE Tumbleweed. The patch command does nothing. Is copying and pasting this patch into a text editor enough or do I need a link to download the patch in a separate file? I got a patch from openmafia that was reported to work, and it did patch the driver, but there were still errors when building the driver.

7

Will there be a patch for NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.131 on my “legacy” laptop running Model: “nVidia GeForce Go 7400” ??

Newly installed Opensuse Tumbleweed.
Running NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.131.run

gives compile errors on nv-mlock.o

and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-367.35.run does not support my graphics card.

thanks,

what the hell to do with the ‘nvidia-367.35 DKMS build errors’ (what my topic is the way here) ?

9

I also have problems when trying to compile 304.131 (32-bit) to make it work with new 4.7 kernel. When can we expect a patch (or maybe driver’s newer release)?

10

304.131 + kernel 4.7

340.96 + kernel 4.7

367.35 + kernel 4.7
i686

x86_64

370.23 + kernel 4.7
Fixed Linux 4.7 compatibility
370.23 + kernel 4.8

Hello!

I’m trying to compile 367.44 and 370.23 on Fedora 25 with kernel 4.8.0-0.rc4. I’ve applied your patches, but still I can’t make it :(

nvidia-installer.log is here: nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'creation time: Fri Se - Pastebin.com

Also there’s my lspci:

[aslaikov@l ~]$ lspci | grep NVIDIA
