Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

There is now a simple patch for kernel 5.19 NVIDIA support, at https://gist.github.com/joanbm/d630a02dde00bf087f64091d331f6dbb .   Although this is (for some reason) for a 470.xx driver, it will apply cleanly to the latest – 515.48.07 – and I have tested it successfully with Kernel 5.19-rc1..

The latest NVIDIA driver (515.48.07) compile fails, but a hack is to edit NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.48.07/kernel/nvidia-drm/nvidia-dma-resv-helper.h and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.48.07/kernel/nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-prime-fence.c and change nv_dma_resv_add_excl_fence to dma_resv_add_excl_fence After this, the driver compiles … Continue reading →
