Thank you, cwizardone, I've been testing the new-ish 6.0.9 kernel on an old Core 2 Duo Extreme SuperMicro with a cheap (was 32 bux! new!!) , old GT 640 GPU box and once I got a properly working kernel built I couldn't get either a 390 nor a 470 driver to build. Today, thanks to your post, I'm happy to report the 470.161.03 is working great!

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/1...driver-issues/ Head's up. Update 'em, if you got 'em.

Thanks for that garpu. Just upgraded this morning to 525.60.11 after reading. Builds fine with kernel-6.0.11. My desktop icon for nvidia-settings had vanished though so created a new one and it works fine.

Hi all

@Lenard Spencer

Please fix nvidia-driver.SlackBuild:

Code:

# Add rc.nvidia-persistenced:

if [ "${PERSISTENCED:-no}" = "yes" ]; then

  cd $TMP

  rm -rf nvidia-persistenced-$VERSION.tar.bz2

  tar xvf $CWD/nvidia-persistenced-$VERSION.tar.bz2

to:

Code:

# Add rc.nvidia-persistenced:

if [ "${PERSISTENCED:-no}" = "yes" ]; then

  cd $TMP

  rm -rf nvidia-persistenced-$VERSION

  tar xvf $CWD/nvidia-persistenced-$VERSION.tar.bz2

Sorry if i'm wrong.

Tried to upgrade from nvidia-driver-525.60.11-x86_64-1_SBo and nvidia-kernel-520.56.06_5.19.17-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz to nvidia-kernel-525.60.11_5.19.17-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz, xorg won't start anymore:

waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .

any clues what might be broken?
I also have:

Quote:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/BLACKLIST-nouveau.conf
# Do not load the kernel nouveau dri module, since it interferes with both
# the nv and binary nvidia drivers.

blacklist nouveau

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
options nvidia-drm modeset=1
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/BLACKLIST-amdgpu.conf
# Do not load the kernel nouveau dri module, since it interferes with both
# the nv and binary nvidia drivers.

blacklist amdgpu

Update: This got fixed by adding nvidia, nvidia-drm and nvidia-modeset to the initrd image:

Quote:

sudo mkinitrd -c -k 5.19.17 -f ext4 -r /dev/slack/root -m xhci-pci:ohci-pci:ehci-pci:xhci-hcd:uhci-hcd:ehci-hcd:hid:usbhid:i2c-hid:hid_generic:hid-asus:hid-cherry:hid-logitech:hid-logitech-dj:hid-logitech-hidpp:hid-lenovo:hid-microsoft:hid_multitouch:jbd2:mbcache:crc32c_intel:crc32c_generic:ext4:nvidia:nvidia-drm:nvidia-modeset -L -R -u -o /boot/initrd.gz

Compiled the new 6.1.1 kernel on Slackware-14.2 gcc 5.5 (32bit)
Installed/tested:

Code:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-390.157.run --no-drm --no-nvidia-modprobe --no-unified-memory

Seems to compile fine, works ok, for now.

Nevermind I figured out how to use the NVIDIA Card only. I basically followed the Arch wiki, but tweaked it since I use AMD and not intel.

But it was a little choppy so after more searching I realized I needed to enable PRIME synchronization. Now its buttery smooth.

Thanks Daedra!
Have an Optimus and was getting a bit tired of starting an application with __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1

Just tried it out the link you provided and it appears to work after a reboot.
kernel 6.0.8
nvidia version 520.56.06

Good to hear. Easiest way to confirm it is working is open nvidia-settings. If you have full configuration options available then it is working. Also under "X Server Display Configuration" it will tell you if PRIME Synchronization is working. And you can also check it with "glxinfo | grep -i opengl"

Yes, confirmed.
I boot into level 3 and all I did after the reboot was 'startx'
This lappy is quite old now and looks like it still has many years left of service.

I upgraded to the 525.60.11 driver via the simple run script on the new kernel (6.1.1). There are no issues.

Nvidia's latest "Production Branch" Driver, Version: 525.78.01, has been released.

The "release highlights," a list of supported products and a download link can be found at, https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driv.../198284/en-us/
Installation instructions can be found under the heading, "Additional Information" at the above link. Under that same heading you can find detailed installation instructions by clicking on "README."

Been using 525.78.01 with no problems on 5.19.17.

Congrats.
Keep us posted as to how it performs with the new driver.
