313.18 installed fine on 3.8 for the first time today (previously only 310.32 would install). Not even -f required.

Well,
in my case "-f" might be needed for my two-monitor configuration with xinerama an virtual-resolution/panning enabled. This configuration already caused me quite some headaches since the 3xx series-drivers came up.

Works great here with sgfxi (no -f)

I'm guessing the new kernels have the header paths updated, or the guys who made them updated them so the link isn't necessary. But good to hear 313.18 works.
bugs.gentoo.org/447566 so I don't lose that gentoo link again, but it seems unnecessary for some systems. Back to top |

I'd already created the symlink when I installed 310.32 so I guess I'll need -f when I next update the kernel . . . but, as you say, at least 313.18 is working

sgfxi makes that link when you use -f or are installing a new driver.
The new nvidia drivers will handle it, basically they will just include the patches in their installer scripts I assume. The link isn't strictly needed if the installer knows where to look for the files I believe, though I could be wrong, but sgfxi makes the link with -f or new driver anyway. Back to top |

I installed an antiX-3.8.0-gnu kernel and this time I needed sgfxi -f.

ok, now I've updated the 173.14.36, which means I think that 173 is covered for 3.7 / 3.8, 304.64, and I believe 313.18 though I'm not positive about 313.18 / 3.7.6 or newer.

:: techAdmin wrote :: ok, now I've updated the 173.14.36, which means I think that 173 is covered for 3.7 / 3.8...I removed the nvidia driver that I had installed manually, and ran you're updated sgfxi. It built the nvidia driver okay, but it ended with "ERROR: (245) The nvidia installer exited with the error: 139". Even with the error I was able to start X/KDE4 by running `service kdm start` and it seems to be working the same as before. Here's the sgfxi.log with the "245" error: dl.dropbox.com/u/18456966/sgfxi-error245.log Back to top |
