Thanks to efforts by Willy Frissen and Joan Bruguera Mic\u00f3, I have managed to cobble together a patch for NVIDIA driver 575.51.02<\/strong> and Kernel 6.15 – tested with 6.15-rc2<\/strong>..<\/p>\n

The compilation failed with Kernel 6.15 due principally to changes removing obsolete EXTRA_CFLAGS<\/strong><\/em> and replacing it by ccflags-y<\/strong><\/em>, and del_timer_sync<\/strong><\/em> replacement by timer_delete_sync<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

Joans’ patch – for older driver 470.256.20 – is at https:\/\/gist.github.com\/joanbm\/def2bf57ed7a799c1d84a67606459314<\/a>
\nand Willys’ patches are at https:\/\/github.com\/babiulep\/my-kernel-patches\/tree\/main\/NVIDIA<\/a><\/p>\n

Using these, I now have NVIDIA 575.51.02<\/strong> compiling successfully, and running with Kernel 6.15-rc2<\/strong> (KDE\/Plasma)<\/p>\n
