Arch Linux User Repository

@elppans thank you very, very much! You saved my day in a critical work situation!

All fine with your updated PKGBUILD and Quadro K2000.

Many thanks to all contriboootors, sending love to the community <3

Using as a reference this post 470xx-drivers-and-linux-6-0-kernel, edited the PKGBUILD and compiled the driver for use in Kernel 6.0

It worked out.

So I added it to my GITHUB, hope it helps whoever needs this build

PKGBUILD, nvidia-470xx-utils, Kernel 6.0

After upgrading to 6.0.1-arch1-1, applying the patch posted here and recompiling, the driver loads :

Oct 13 23:40:41 foo kernel: nvidia_uvm: module uses symbols nvUvmInterfaceDisableAccessCntr from proprietary module nvidia, inheriting taint.

But doesn't work - running nvidia-smi or nvidia-settings results in the following messages :

Oct 13 23:41:20 foo kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: Failed to copy vbios to system memory.

Oct 13 23:41:20 foo kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0

This is on a Lenovo Z500 with a GeForce GT 645M. I just switched to linux-lts and stuff is good again.

@jonathon: With the linux package now officially updated to 6.0.1, dkms is failing. Can you please include the patch posted by @BlackIkeEagle?

For those impacted by the backlight issue: a solution posted to Nvidia forum seems to have been found. It works at least with nvidia K3000M and kernel 6.0.0.

Does not seem to build with the recent 5.19.13-arch1-1.

@BlackIkeEagle thanks, the patch worked, modules successfully built. However, there is an issue with backlighting - it's broken with kernel 6.0. Is something missing from the patch or the breakage is induced by the kernel 6.0 ?

patch for linux 6.0: https://gitlab.com/herecura/packages/nvidia-470xx-dkms/-/blob/9c88952c1504e32ba3656cb0e2afd9286d2a763d/kernel-6.0.patch

Is there a patch to enable building the modules with kernel 6.0 ? Right now, when building against 6.0-rc7 it bails out with
