Thanks to loqs, there is now a viable patch for NVIDIA and Kernel 4.20. I applied the patch to driver 415.18, and tested with Kernel 4.20-rc3, and the driver compiles cleanly, now: ……………………… ld -r -o /home/rgadsdon/kernel/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-415.18-420/kernel/nvidia-modeset/nv-modeset-interface.o /home/rgadsdon/kernel/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-415.18-420/kernel/nvidia-modeset/nvidia-modeset-linux.o Building modules, stage 2.

I created a combo runtime patch for NVIDIA 410.73 on Kernel 4.20-rc1, by combining the changes identified in my previous article ( see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2426 ) with the pm patch (see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2421 ). The result ran – eventually – after blanking/refreshing the display, with garbage characters at top/bottom, so all was obviously not OK.. ……………………… [ 121.826292] [drm] … Continue reading →
