I had been experiencing occasional problems with X and KDE with the previous 3.11 kernel versions, and had reverted to 3.10.12, but have just updated to 3.11.2, and it seems to be better – so far….<\/p>\n
VMware 10 compiles and runs OK, and NVIDIA 319.49 – with the 3.11 patch – works OK.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have seen reports of instability with Win7 guest OS’s with VMware 10, but have not experienced any problems myself.<\/p>\n
For some reason, NVIDIA now seem to be very slow to update their Linux drivers, and there is still no version that compiles on 3.11 without a patch..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Frustratingly, I did find that one of the older ‘legacy’ drivers has<\/span> been updated, and compiles on 3.11 and even on 3.12-rc kernels!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately, this version – 173.14.38 – doesn’t work with recent GPUs..<\/p>\n There is a patch – of sorts – for the current NVIDIA driver, for 3.12-rc, but it is a very nasty hack, and involves the illegal changing of the licence<\/em> for the NVIDIA code, which is absolutely not<\/strong> an acceptable solution!<\/p>\n Robert Gadsdon.\u00a0 September 27, 2013.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had been experiencing occasional problems with X and KDE with the previous 3.11 kernel versions, and had reverted to 3.10.12, but have just updated to 3.11.2, and it seems to be better – so far….
