A simple patch is needed for the 565.57.01 driver release for nvidia-drm
compatibility with Linux kernel 6.12.
Without this patch, the symptoms described in
6.12: drm_open_helper RIP · Issue #712 · NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules · GitHub will be
observed. This is needed as a follow-up to commit 641bb4394f40 (“fs:
move FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to fop_flags”) in the Linux kernel. No other
patching should be required for 565.57.01 compatibility with Linux
kernel 6.12.
@rrameshbabu is this patch also needed for older drivers like 550.127.05, 470.256.02 and 390.157?
Yes, but you also need an additional change to handle output_poll_changed disappearing.
So far we used this patch, which seems to be similar: kernel-6.12.patch.txt (3.3 KB)
Did not work for me. And please, NVidia fix finally your garbage clean up! You must DELETE all left overs of your driver, not to flood system with dkms, /lib/modules/ etc garbage you left behind yourself.
Please roll out newer patched version of driver for 6.12.
Thanks in advance
560 also, I’m not sure how a proper full patch for 560 would look tho’,
Ok I got to know why it doesn’t work. My GPU uses closed driver, not so new to use open driver and patch NVidia author posted here is for open driver. NVidia, please patch for closed version of driver precisely 565 beta. Thanks in advance
You can use the 550.135 production driver, which should ship all patches needed for 6.12 kernel.
I want at least 560 or better 565 patched. Because seriously 550 is much worse, it has broken Wayland. You know I was very impressed that NVidia started fixing Wayland support fast this year. According to previous experience with Optimus, expected them to do anything by the end of this year only. So that was huge thumbs up.
And now not willing to make a tiny patch for people with closed driver is really disappointing. It shouldn’t take NVidia more then maybe 2 hours in most worst case and would make many users happy. They released updated 550 with kernel 6.12 supports, which means they already know how and what to patch there for closed driver. This beta is much more stable and functional then “stable” 550 series.
That’s not that much I kindly ask from NVidia. And I am loyal customer for over 15 years, even counting Optimus fiasco back then.
@phoenix91140 Nvidia clearly stated already that they won’t update 560 drivers anymore. Adding new kernel support to some drivers take longer these days. 565 is the current beta driver and also doesn’t ship all needed patches for supporting 6.12. Arch already updated to 565 series and tries to apply needed patches provided by Nvidia to their releases. Similar things are done at Manjaro. However, users report issues with the drivers and 6.12 kernel, even they are patched. Having updated drivers for current and legacy series would be good for distributions who want to ship the 6.12 on their installation medias.
Any clue how they patch closed version of driver? Where did they take a patch for 565? In top post here it’s open driver only
@phoenix91140 it is simple. you take the open patches and patch them to the nvidia instead of the nvidia-open folder. The part for the kernel needs to have the public source, else it wouldn’t compile. Code might slightly differ for some functions.
[NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU / 565.57.01]
This patch and the patch published at NixOS (Fix nvidia driver for 6.12 · Issue #353636 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub) do not resolve the issue; there is still no display on the laptop’s screen. The HDMI port provides a display, and USB-C/HDMI also works, but the primary eDP display remains off.
The boot log shows the same error:
