Further testing for Kernel 6.11<\/strong> support:<\/p>\n

All latest versions (as of November 2nd 2024), fail to load\/run with Kernel 6.11.x, with the same error:

This is because in Kernel 6.11 and later, drm_fbdev_generic_setup<\/strong> was renamed to
\ndrm_fbdev_ttm_setup<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A simple fix is to extract the source, and replace all occurrences of the old with the new, and recompile.
\nThe files affected are:
\nNVxxxxx\/kernel\/conftest.sh<\/span><\/strong>
\nNVxxxxx\/kernel-open\/conftest.sh<\/span><\/strong>
\nNVxxxxx\/kernel\/nvidia-drm\/nvidia-drm-drv.c<\/span><\/strong>
\nNVxxxxx\/kernel\/nvidia-drm\/nvidia-drm-sources.mk<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest beta<\/em> driver 565.75.01 appears to have revived the old ‘blank screen\/no signal’ error with my older GTX1050Ti system, but 550.127.05 works OK..\u00a0\u00a0 This may be due to other issues, so more testing is required..<\/p>\n

I understand that NVIDIA are supposed to provide an updated driver soon to fix Kernel 6.11 support, so the simple fix will suffice for the time being..<\/p>\n

My test have uncovered another odd quirk…\u00a0\u00a0 The NVxxx.RUN executable seems to fail with other errors, but compiling the (extracted) source is OK…\u00a0\u00a0 I compiled the source and then ran # make modules_install<\/span><\/strong>, and then re-ran the NVxxx.RUN executable with the –no-kernel-module<\/span><\/strong> option to install the correct userland libraries etc.<\/p>\n
