The old nvidia packages do not build for kernel 3.6.1 (F17) any more.

I built the latest 304:

That's very good . Would you have a el6 64 version of that by any chance
. Or perhaps a srpm , I would like to try the new driver on my el6
front-end .

My source rpms are always here:

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/srpms/nvidia-graphics304.51-304.51-148.fc17.src.rpm

I did not build the new nvidia driver for rhel6,
because the 295 series is fine for me. Only F17
with kernel 3.6 requires the 304 series ...

Hello Paulo,

Thank you for that , I downloaded your fc17 srpm , and compiled it for el6 . No changes were necessary, used as is , it compiled fine , and created the kmdl as well . I have now installed it and works ok . Really appreciate it . Now I can try a GTX650 on my front end .

Best Regards

Thanks for that Paulo,

One thing I was going to ask you . I am interested how do you create the
srpm from the binary package that Nvidia makes . I would like to have a
go at making the new 304.60 drivers into a srpm , and then into a set of
rpms for el6 . Any information appreciated greatly .


Best Regards

Milorad

Basically, you have to unpack the .src.rpm
and replace the nvidia blob, by a new x86_64 and
a new x86 file:

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/

Then, you have to recreate the .src.rpm:

rpmbuild -bs --rmsource foo.src.rpm /usr/bin/rpmbuild

Sorry, I meant:

rpmbuild -bs --rmsource nvidia-graphics304.51.spec

Furthermore, one has to adapt the spec file to adjust
the version. Axel also names the spec file using the version of the
driver.

Hello Paulo,

Much appreciate your help , and the information provided . Using this method I have just created a SRPM for the new nvidia drivers rev : 304.64 . I have called it : nvidia-graphics304.64-304.64-150.el6.src.rpm . I have used it to compile drivers for my el6 64 bit machine , and it works very well . Other distros and arch's I have not tried . If you guys want the SRPM , I can upload it to save you creating one . Just point me in the direction of your FTP server .

Best Regards

Milorad

Hi: I just used preupgrade to go to F17. No problems seen yet with the
result, but I have to run an F16 kernel and nvidia kmdl because no
matching F17 kmdl exists in the repo. Currently 3.6.11-4 fc16 x86_64
with 304.51

I did have problems some time ago when I tried 304.64, so stayed with
304.51.

According to the nVidia site my hardware now ought to be on 304.84, and
the F17 kernel I have is 3.7.9-104.

Any suggestions about how to move forward gratefully received.

John P
