Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

After (still..) waiting for an updated version of the NVIDIA 580.xx drivers, I decided to do some more investigation of the GPL-only fail after my hack of the ‘proprietary’ branch of driver 580.119.02.. I soon found that the “… GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol ‘__vma_start_write’ ..” issue had first occurred with Kernel 6.15, so (once again) … Continue reading →
