Hi all, for those who want the build the driver maually.

Here is the PKGBUILD: https://pastebin.com/1zuCiZsu

$ makepkg -g (to edit b2sums)

$ makepkg -s

Haven’t got a large variety of formats available, but it seems not to be working as you described.

@sebalis MPV works but the VDPAU doesn't work. Run this "mpv --no-config --hwdec=vdpau filename". When the video pops hold "i". On the first few lines you should see "(hwdec: vdpau)". Example:
Video: h264 (H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10) (hwdec: vdpau)" Try on different files with different codecs. if you see it at least once then it's working.

mpv works for me (Dell Latitude E6510 with nvidia-340xx-dkms).

Thanks to everyone who makes this driver work!
KiCad and VDPAU in MPV don't work with the driver so I've shared the fixes I've used:

hi, how can i login to hyprland with this driver? it doesnt have drm and modeset

Hi. Debian 340.108 patches have different changes that have AUR 340.108 patches from here?

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx/

"One question, guys: can I have nvidia blob installed for both linux and linux-lts kernels?"
@TheExplorer Yes, You can. (zen is the same as lts, just need change the PKGBUILD file accordingly)
yay -Qs 340xx | grep 33
local/nvidia-340xx 340.108-33
local/nvidia-340xx-zen 340.108-33

It don't overlap each other:

                └── 20-nvidia.conf

10 directories, 4 files

(You can check both *tar.zst files and compare them also. [The final installation path, in this case, is /usr/lib/... and /usr/share/...]).
On the other hand, the PKGBUILD have an option for this cases: conflicts=('nvidia') that i guess should be conflicts=('nvidia' 'nvidia-340xx-lts') in case of incompatibility with the lts version.

@calvinh It's working ok here with the standard/old/classic module installation (no dkms). Should be the same with dkms, I think.

Anybody else is having problems compiling in kernel 6.3.1? I got the following errors.

$ cat /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/340.108/build/make.log DKMS make.log for nvidia-340.108 for kernel 6.3.1-zen2-1-zen (x86_64) Thu May 11 20:17:30 EDT 2023

gcc-version-check failed:

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with a different compiler than the one that was used to compile the running kernel. The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that of the compiler used to build the running kernel. The compiler used to compile the kernel was gcc 12.2; the current compiler is gcc 13.1.

If you know what you are doing and want to override the gcc version check, you can do so by setting the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH environment variable to "1".

In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.

*** Failed CC version check. Bailing out! ***
