3.7 kernel nvidia problems
Has anyne had any success installing nvidia on the 3.7 kernel?
3.7 failed for me with 310.14. 310.19 and 313.09beta. :: Code :: Host/Kernel/OS "hypnos32" running Linux 3.6-9.slh.1-aptosid-686 i686 [ sidux 2010-01 Ύπνος - kde-full - (201006131622) ]

the beta failed? Liquorix and debian I assume don't yet have the 3.7 in unstable version, I wonder if he's running a future yet, I'll ask damentz.
I had assumed the beta and last versions would work on 3.7, so I set sgfxi to pass those through, maybe I'll have to update it. Back to top |

slackblogs.blogspot.com/2012/12/linux-kernel-37-vmware-workstation-and.html Both report no issues with 310 kernel and 3.7. No patches required apparently but confirm/deny. however, the latter notes that 304 is not compatible without a patch with 3.7 kernel. I'm not certain, but the second link says this: :: Quote :: VMWare Workstation:
run this command: ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.7/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-3.7/include/linux/version.h vmware-modconfig --console --install-all NVidia Driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.64: Download patch ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.64.run --apply-patch patch_nvidia_304_60.run_for_3.7 ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.64-custom.run If you are running the latest NVidia Driver 310.19, you don't need to apply any patches at all. It's already compatible with the latest Linux Kernel 3.7 as long as you make the symlink described in VMWare section above I believe he's saying that if you add this: :: Code :: ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.7/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-3.7/include/linux/version.hnvidia will build, but I'd like to get that confirmed before I add that for 310 and 313 drivers in sgfxi. But you can check for that link/file and let me know, create it if missing, and if nvidia builds then, let me know, that's the only thing I can find at this point. I've added a patch for 304.60/64 that applies correctly in my tests but I haven't tested it with an actual nvidia driver build. Back to top |

ok, so I guess that's needed for 304, 310, and 313 as a prepatch, or post patch, action in sgfxi.
That's what it sounded like but just wanted to confirm it. man, every time I see an infobash I think inxi broke badly, lol. Back to top |

I can confirm the build fails on 3.7 here on linux-image-3.7-0.towo-siduction-amd64. Using 3.6.10 to post this.
Think whoever is posting an infobash must be running aptosid :^) Back to top |

drb, can you post EXACTLY what you did to resolve this?
deepdayze reports that there is no such path: /usr/src/linux-3.7/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h and also that this file exists already: on his towo 3.7 kernel, so what command exactly did you run to make this work? We can't figure it out, so I can't implement it on sgfxi safely yet. Back to top |

:: Code :: ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-0.slh.3-aptosid-686/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7-0.slh.3-aptosid-686/include/linux/version.h
Above is the link I made.[ Back to top |

I've added a simple patch to sgfxi to look for and create that link if it's missing, or the file is missing. It will not overwrite the file with a link.
However, if you have already downloaded and installed 304.64 driver, the legacy driver for 6/7xxx nvidia cards, you'll need to run sgfxi with: sgfxi -f to force new install, not only module rebuild, which will not run the patches. I don't have much confidence in the patches working for 310/313 for 3.7 kernels with nvidia, I tested it, but my system doesn't like something on 3.7 and it freezes my mouse, could be an old xorg.conf thing or something else, I'll have to test more.
