I set it to run on 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7 kernels, so see if it works. Any way to allow that nvidia 340.xx patch to be tested for 4.8.x kernel? Let me know, thanks! Back to top |

sorry, I missed this, I've added 4.8 for the patch, try it and see if it works, if yes, I'll leave it, if no, I'll remove it.

Oh, good, it works on 340.98 and 4.8, I wasn't sure if the new nvidia drivers worked on 4.8 for legacy or not, but it looks like they do.

Added support for the screen_info.ext_lfb_base field, on kernels that have it, in order to properly handle UEFI framebuffer consoles with physical addresses above 4GB. Back to top |

340.98 doesn't get the patch, that was just released, so I guess it was released with 4.8 support.

I got the same error out, but the driver has installed, which reminds me that I need to file a bug report on this issue with nvidia, I have two systems that error out on install but the driver is actually installed fine, x start, etc.
