Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 21, 2014 by RGOctober 21, 2014

Thanks to juston_li, there is a one-line fix to enable the latest NVIDIA drivers to compile with Kernel 3.18-rc1 See: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/783364/linux/343-22-driver-incompatible-with-linux-3-18-/ The fix there is for Beta version 343.22, but I applied it to main version 340.46, as follows: In NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.46/kernel/nv-drm.c , at line 19, change #if defined(NV_DRM_AVAILABLE) #include <drm/drmP.h> to #if defined(NV_DRM_AVAILABLE) #include <drm/drmP.h> #include <drm/drm_gem.h> … Continue reading →
