I used the Viterzgir patch for kernel 17 and build succeeded and all is up and running

@Imh69 I overlooked the "download Snapshot" possibility. Thanks for reminding me.

@hias Please try the @Viterzgir one that's working 2 and it's more complete.

@fvsc Download the snapshot package, extract it, patch the sources in that directory with the @Viterzgir patch ( https://pastebin.com/raw/QqKwAbSy ), you should modify the PKGBUILD and add the patch and the b2sum of it, then just compile/make the package and installed it with: makepkg -si You should be running the 5.17 kernel that you want to use with this nvidia driver when you execute the makepkg command. (You can make a function() in bashrc or an .sh file to semi-automatic execute it when you upgrade your kernel version 5.17.* as long as this aur package isn't updated)

Regards.

Can someone tell me where I can download the kernel patches? Thanks in advance.

I tried lmh69´s Patch and X starts again. tnx.

thx again @Viterzgir .Im too had no problems and Mate is running fine again

Can confirm @Viterzgir's patch works fine. Thanks.

Patch for kernel 5.17 https://pastebin.com/QqKwAbSy

i'm using since yesterday the following patch for kernel 5.17 (Tentative fix for NVIDIA 470.94 driver for Linux 5.17-rc1): https://gist.github.com/joanbm/6c7b027b9436bf31ce979927e544e9d5

Regards.

PS: I have to say that i didn't try the module compilation without the patch... I don't know if is strictly necessary or not...

Need a patch for 5.17 kernel.
