NVIDIA – A Kernel 3.13 Patch that Works..

There have been several ‘Kernel 3.13’ patches on various sites for the latest NVIDIA drivers, and I have finally found one that – on my system – actually works, without causing uvcvideo / usb problems (see previous articles..)

Thanks to the folks at ArchLinux, the patch can be found here: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/nvidia_3.13_kernel.patch?h=packages/nvidia

Be aware that there are other patches around with the same name, but different contents!

I have applied this patch to driver 331.38, and – at last – I can run Kernel 3.13.1 on my main system, with working video conferencing, and no segfaults/tombstones….

Hopefully NVIDIA will be releasing an ‘official’ driver with Kernel 3.13 support, soon.?.

Thanks I’ll try it with some PC’s.
I’ll bet that it won’t work on gentoo hardened 64bit.

  Interesting to see if it will… All my running x86_64 kernels are compiled from kernel.org – since 1998 – and the ‘distro’ versions can be a bit of a moving target..

Hi Richard, just installed 334.16 against kernel 3.13.2-13.g97cc2ff on opensuse 13.1. The module compiled but while loading I’m getting the exception: unknown symbol acpi_os_wait_events_complete.

Regards
Alex
