sgfxi -f fails for 3.8 kernel
I have tried to use sgfxi -f to build nvidia 304.64 legacy driver for 3.8 kernel but it gives error (extra output snipped):

I had a patch but I wasn't sure if it worked for 3.8. I guess it doesn't.

I added more to the patch, they claim this works. Try it again. Back to top |
I just installed the 3.8 siduction kernel. Nvidia-driver (313.18) did not compile with actual sgfxi nor did it compile manually.

this thread was about 304.64 / 3.8 kernel, I'm aware of the 313.18 issue, I put in the patches I found online for both, but updated for 304.64 because new stuff appeared.
the trick here is to find the proper patch for the driver and post a link to it so I can add it, usually with new kernels requiring patches it takes a week or two before google knows about the proper patch so I can find it. Back to top |

I added another 313.18 patch for 3.8 kernel, I find the random changes of the linux kernel guys to be approaching near psychotic levels. Back to top |

yes, in this thread I added patches for all drivers mentioned now.

OK tried the patch and it still doesn't work for me for 3.8 and it now broke for 3.7 Something seems amiss
Is there a way to revert to the original patch for 3.7 so I can at least get that working again? Back to top |
