legacy71xx and tahr |
|
Hi, anyone who succeeded in compiling legacy71xx driver (old old old!) on tahr6.0.2 (kernel 3.14.20). It certainly needs patches.
AND have it running (possibly will not run on newer Xorg?)?

304.132 |
|
Legacy driver .run file 304.132
has been released.....
later - compiles under kernel 4.7.5 but does not load - looks like mtrr patch for kernels > 4.3 has not been applied!!
nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0)
nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0)
even later - I've managed to apply the mtrr patches to the 304.132.run but getnvidia then throws a wobbly and won't build the sfs - however installing the .run directly does create and install a working driver....

lessons learnt: there must not be a space in the path to the .run file otherwise getnvidia fails....
The following items in getnvidia-1.0.pet are now out of date:
/usr/bin/nvidia-installer (vintage 2013 - copied new version from 304.132 .run extract)
/usr/share/getnvidia/nvidia-glx.files (directory X11R7 no longer exists - change to /usr/lib/xorg/)
I've uploaded the patched .run to:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/files/Other/nvidia/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.132-patched-mtrr.run/download
The patch applied is: Code: | --- kernel/nv-linux.h

Drivers 304.134 (Xorg-1.19 compatible) have been released by nvidia
Also 340.101
mtrr patch is still needed to make a loadable driver for Puppy.....
Patched .run file (32-bit):

@peebee is there something available for Fatdog64-710 for k4.4.35?

There is a 64-bit .run with the mtrr patch for the earlier 304.132 driver at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/files/Other/nvidia/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.132-patched-mtrr.run/download
which should be sufficient for k4.4.35 as long as Fatdog has not moved to Xorg-1.19.....for which 304.134 is needed
Whether getnvidia works on Fatdog64 I've no idea....I suspect not - so you would have to permanently install it via the .run file directly - i.e. you wouldn't get a .pet or .sfs - but Fatdog doesn't use .pets anyway??
All a bit of a mystery to me I'm afraid....

@peebee,
I have a patched NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.134.run file that I've tested successfully on Fatdog 64 710 (kernel 4.4.35) with a machine that has the embedded Geforce 6150 video, requiring the legacy driver.
How do I get this to you?
I've attached the command line output from extracting the files, applying the patches, and running a modified makeself to recreate the self-extracting file. This was then run on a machine with plenty of RAM and the devx and kernel source sfs. You need to blacklist nouveau before you run this to avoid confusing the script, and again when you reboot. The problem is that the modified configuration files don't come into effect until after the initrd is used, which is likely to load nouveau. With Fatdog 710 the syntax at the end of the kernel line is simply "blacklist=nouveau". You also need to modify any bootloader like Grub to keep blacklisting the module, unless you want to rebuild the initrd.

Okay, the patched nvidia file mentioned above (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.134-patched.run) has been uploaded to www.smokey01,com/prehistoric along with an md5sum. Use the site search to find it, if this isn't obvious.
I've removed two files I had uploaded before, as they are so out-of-date as to be dangerous.
The .run script has been tested on two machines running Fatdog 710 which had sufficient memory for development. This requires the devx.sfs and the kernel source for 4.4.35 to be loaded. It should work on later kernels up to 4.9, but has not been tested.
To build this module in Fatdog you need to boot with "blacklist=nouveau" appended, and exit the GUI to run from the console, or the script gets upset. After it has built the nvidia kernel module and modified configuration files you can type xwin to go to a GUI desktop, but in fatdog 710 you will still need to blacklist nouveau on every boot to avoid having a conflict with the initrd loading nouveau. (Modify the kernel line in the bootloader menu.)
This is only for legacy Nvidia products requiring the 304.xxx driver. The test machines both had Geforce 6150/6150LE embedded graphics. At one time this was a popular type of video in consumer products like the HP media center PCs. By coincidence, we have just had an unrelated request for help with one. I have a machine I built myself, and was recently given an HP media center considered obsolete. Both run Puppy or Fatdog 710 nicely.
Those who are running Puppies built from binaries available for Ubuntu, for example, do not have to use this as they can probably find the corresponding binaries on-line. This has the advantage that it works with files directly downloaded from Nvidia, only patched to allow newer kernels.

After using Getnvidia 1.0.
Making and installing a Nvidia driver.
Now using the Nvidia driver.
I noticed this file in /root/startup
It says it does this:
Quote: | watch and make the nvidia graphic driver ready. |
This is a Puppy specific file made by Puppy people.
I deleted this file from /root/startup.
Still get normal operation of the Nvidia driver after fresh boot.
Does any one really know what this file is suppose to do and is it really needed in /root/startup?
Should it need to be deleted after getting the Nvidia driver installed?
Update:
Several Puppy versions were having booting issues.
Main problem was network connection not being completed at bootup.
I removed this nvidia file from /root/startup.
All the bootup issues were no longer happening.
So, removing this file fixed it.

304.135 driver has been released by nvidia....
No longer needs the mtrr patch - hooray
For kernels >=4.9 the k4.9 patch is still needed.
Patched 32-bit .run available from:
