 Posted: Sat Apr 06, 2013 1:35 pm Post subject: nvidia-drivers-96. on 3.7.10 does not compile |
 |
|
I have got nvidia-drivers-96.43.20 installed, but since upgrading to a more recent kernel, 3.7.10, I am no longer able to compile the nvidia-driver. I believe either
- The driver has changes between 96.43.20 (installed) and 96.43.23 (current)
- The kernel has changes between 3.7.9 (I believe this version worked with 96.43.20) and 3.7.10
In any case I am now getting this error:
| Quote: | * ERROR: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.23 failed (compile phase):

* Call stack:

Any suggestion on what to do to restore driver support, other than to downgrade, or get a newer graphics card ? |

| The actual error is probably further up in the output, the part you posted basically just says 'something went wrong during compile'. |

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. *** |

From the ebuild: | Code: | if use kernel_linux && kernel_is ge 3 7 ; then
ewarn "Gentoo supports kernels which are supported by NVIDIA"
ewarn "which are limited to the following kernels:"
ewarn "<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7"
ewarn "<sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.7"
ewarn ""
ewarn "You are free to utilize epatch_user to provide whatever"
ewarn "support you feel is appropriate, but will not receive"
ewarn "support as a result of those changes."

Which means you need to add patches for newer kernels yourself. There's a bug in bugzilla that has the relevant patches for 3.7 and 3.8 |
