NVIDIA – New 410 Patch – With Hotplug Support..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 23, 2017 by RGFebruary 23, 2017

Thanks to Alberto Milone, there is now a patch for the latest NVIDIA driver, which is reported to include ‘hotplug’ support :https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/nonfree/nvidia-kmod.git/plain/kernel_4.10.patch I can confirm that this compiles OK when applied to driver 378.13, with kernel 4.10.   I am not able to test hotplug functionality, as I do not have a suitable system..   So..  YMMV… Thanks to … Continue reading →

Both still fail to compile with Kernel 4.10 (tested with 4.10-rc8) and I tried the previous 378.09 patch against 379.13, but it failed to apply cleanly, as more code has changed.. $ cat nv-37809-410-patch.patch |patch -p0 patching file … Continue reading →
