Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that linux-headers should not be a dependency of any DKMS package.

As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when linux is not an installed kernel?

I checked and 6.16.1 has the same error. I have a laptop with an external monitor connected via HDMI, and Xorg is launched via startx. Disconnecting the monitor doesn't help. maybe running via startx means that the error doesn't occur for everyone? 6.16.0 works normally like all previous kernel versions. What changed in 6.16.1 that suddenly stopped working? Does anyone have any ideas?

No problem here upgrading from linux-6.16.1.arch1-1 to linux-6.16.2-arch1-1.

I have exactly the same problem as @Irving-1291 with kernel 6.16.2-zen1-1. I haven't tested 6.16.1. 6.16.0 works fine. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

After updating to linux 6.16.1.arch1-1 Xorg stopped working. ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log says that:

(EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to acquire modesetting permission.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failing initialization of X screen 0
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) UnloadSubModule: "wfb"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) no screens found

if I roll back to an older kernel, everything works just fine

Confirmed 6.16.0 - no patches required. All good here on update.

That is indeed good news. So long as what you have in your virtual machine was triggering the build of the 390xx driver with the 6.16 kernel, then you did it the right way. With this package installed and then installing the 6.16 kernel, there isn't any reason a build in virtualbox would be any different than a build on hardware. (I'll take that as a good sign 6.16 will be one that doesn't need patching for -- thankfully :)

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to test compatibility, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Here's what I did:

In a VirtualBox machine, I enabled the testing repositories (core-testing and extra-testing) and upgraded the system, including the kernel to version 6.16.0-arch1-1. Then I rebooted the virtual machine, cloned this AUR repository, and ran makepkg -s.

The package compiled successfully without any errors.

The kernel 6.16 just entered the Testing repo. Anybody have a chance to check if a patch is needed? I haven't had time to look yet. I'll start snooping around. No patch listed at joanbm's gist site -- maybe we will get lucky and none will be needed (rare, but has occurred).

Checksum changed for the run file
