@JerryXiao Thank you for the info. Cheers!

On second thought, spending too much effort maintaining this package is not the best use of time. Go fix nouveau reclocking for NV50 cards if you really had that time. This driver will eventually bit rot into nothing sooner or later.

I would expect no performance loss. In terms of drm the 340xx implementation has little to no real use as far as I can tell. You don't get to run anything wayland/kms whatsoever. If all you need is X then the nvidia ddx & opengl implementation is right inside the package for you.

@TheExplorer The answer to your first question is not hard to find: DRM in this context is not Digital “Rights” (or, in the words of the FSF, Restrictions) Management but a component called Direct Rendering Manager. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=275936 and https://man.archlinux.org/man/drm.7.en – Regarding your second question, I don’t know.

I have now changed my pacman.conf to prevent my Linux packages from updating. Would love to help in some way but I don’t think I have the required resources or knowledge. I have some experience in C development but that is basically from the 1990s and I know nothing about developing graphics drivers or working with Linux kernel code. I assume this would involve much more than adapting to a few changes in function signatures.

@JerryXiao What is 'drm functionality' and how does it affect the driver's performance?

Due to extensive drm_legacy helper changes in kernel 6.8 the drm functionality of this package has been disabled for a quick fix. A proper fix is possible but lengthy so your help is appreciated.
On the other hand, we don't seem to lose much as drm support is quite limited in 340xx anyway.

@flydisco , I haven't had time to retry. It's stable under a 6.6 kernel. I'll wait until a 6.8.X is out before trying again.

@kanehekili try https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nvidia-340xx?O=70#comment-885070

flydisco commented on 2024-03-11 18:54 (UTC)

@taz-007 Does the problem still occur? try booting with the kernel parameter nvidia_drm.modeset=1
