driver installed and working BUT! EGL and GLX NOT! working neither kernel 6.6 neither kernel 7.0.5 games like ezQuake gives segfaults

Thanks for your feedback @Yomi95. I'm currently running Linux kernel 7.0.11-arch1-1.

@Yomi95 @Unix-Like Confirm, worked at Linux kernel 7.0.5-arch1-1 with newest gcc/gcc-libs 16.1.1

from this git https://github.com/MichelBoucey/nvidia-340xx/releases/tag/nvidia-340xx-340.108-41

PS Sorry for offtopic. Maybe someone can help me? With implementing EGL render for OpenGL at Wine 11, games now not running anymore at my GF9800(G92) OpenGL 3.3, NO Vulkan support.

@Yomi95 Thanks for your feedback. And yes, Linux kernel sources and GCC have to be up to date. I'm also under Linux kernel 7.0.5-arch1-1.

Thanks for the patches 0020 0021, Unix-Like and r3n4n

Working well on Linux Arch 7.0.5 and Zen

What I did:

git clone latest patched repo or this one + patching
cd nvidia-340xx
NVIDIA_340XX_DKMS_ONLY=1 makepkg -si

P.S After many failed attempts I learned you NEED to compile it from the new Kernel 7.0 with newest gcc/gcc-libs 16.1.1 for it to work, cuz I keep using latest Zen stable till nvidia gets patch.

P.S2 If you guys use chromium browsers like Brave Origin and gpu support stopped working DISABLE > "Fallback to software if GLES3 is not supported" in chrome://flags Idk if needed but I use "Override software rendering list" too and some others!

It's done, nvidia-340xx-340.108-41 or clone it.

You're welcome. Please feel free to post it on GitHub; I don't use GitHub.

Hi @r3n4n. It works for me too. Thank you so much. As last time, I can publish your work on my Github fork repo and create a pull request if you want. I am currently on Linux kernel 7.0.3-arch1-2.

Hi, for compatibility with Kernel 7 and gcc16 I have made a patch(based upon https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/nvidia-470xx-fix-linux-7.0.patch?h=nvidia-470xx-utils):

actually now that i've read the comments i see that there's an lts-dkms package, which seems weird since dkms gives you one package for all kernel versions and branches for free. dkms packages for zfs, zenpower, xtables, xone, nvidia 390,430,470,510,525,535,550,575,575open,570 and beta and others do not have separate dkms packages for different kernels (flavors). is there some inherent difference of linux-lts that specifically nvidia-340xx-lts-dkms should be used with lts? if so, it should be noted on the wiki and maybe in package descriptions or something, because i for one didn't even consider variations of dkms packages existing, i just typed in nvidia-340xx-dkms as seen on the wiki and installed it. works fine on lts btw.
