Possible typo in newest nvidia PKGBUILD

From the PKGBUILD:
depends=('kernel26>=2.6.32i.3' 'kernel26<2.6.33'
Obviously the character in bold is a typo.
Should I file a bug report?

Normally, yes, file a bug report. But, it's not like that with at least today's update.

Possibly stupid question re: nvidia driver install

Hi there. I was wondering... Is it possible to install the nvidia driver without compiling the kernel? I don't want to repartition my drive to give Arch the space it would need to do that, and even if I had the space I'd rather not have to waste time compiling.
As a side curiousity, if I do indeed need to rebuild the kernel, can anyone explain why I need to? It seems to me that if whoever compiled it in the first place included the sources they used, and if they made a copy available, it would avoid a lot of hassle. Am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.

OK - 5.) update XF86Config-4
OK - 6.) add nvidia to the modules like of rc.conf
Just wanted to debate. If you fetched the kernel source, you should have a look inside its readme. There is a strong warning not to link your source to linux. Instead, give your nvidia installer the option where to find the source.
nvinstaller --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.4/
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Will not do that any more

Works fine for me under kernel26-ice nvidia-ice (modified for 177.70)! Enjoy
PS. 177.70 is a bit faster for me actually, on 2D/pixmap operations (wo and w/ compiz) (8600M GT)

if you asking about a bug reported on arch linux bugtracker, then you are doing it the wrong way.
flash and nvidia are closed source, we can't do anything. A better place is to submit bugs to nvidia and adobe.

Is it possible to use any nvidia 8800GT in my Mac Pro?

Hi,
I have a 1st gen Mac Pro, with PCIe slots. Is it possible to use any 8800GT or do i have to get one from the apple webshop. This upgrade hasn`t come to Norway yet, but i`ve found some other great 8800GT`s. I don`t see why i can`t buy a MSI 8800GT (as long as it`s PCIe and not 2.0).
What do you think? Please help me.. =/

Thanks for the replies.
Thats a real shame, though. The Upgrade kit cost the equivalent of $475 in Norway. Thats insane for a $170 graphics card. I found one computer store that had it listed at about $355, which i find strange. How could another computer store sell apple hardware cheaper then the official apple reseller?
I find this whole situation frustrating. I can't buy from nvidia.com either as the taxes and stuff would likely end up in the $200 area. For once i wish i lived in the US.
Thanks for the help. =)

Possible to upgrade my Nvidia Graphics Card on my Mid 2014 Macbook Pro?

I purchased a mid 2014 Macbook Pro recently
and it has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M.
I was curious if it were possible to upgrade this to a better card?

Thank you so much.

Flash video image problem with newest nVidia driver

I've got a very weird display error since the last update. Basically, whenever I play flash video and afterwards close the browser (chromium), any purely black surfaces will display the full flash player image. The effect is only visible in the "first" window of a xmonad tab, that means if I cycle the window positions it will be in a different window. The others are not affected. When I restart X, I can see the flash video image flashing up shortly on the black screen. Restarting X fixes the issue. I cannot take any screenshot of the problem because the error is NOT visible on the screenshot. Therefore I suspect that some frame buffer used for the flash player is not getting cleared properly after exiting the browser, but it's really little more than a wild guess.
As there are multiple components involved, I'm at a loss of where this might be coming from. I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Please post here if you have the same problem or have any idea why this happens!
My setup:
-nvidia 260.19.36-2
-flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
-chromium 9.0.597.94-1
-xmonad 0.9.2-1
-xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-1

Possible typo in Beginner's Guide

While going through the Beginner's Guide (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide), I noticed a word "thw" in "Swap partition" section. There is only 1 occurrence, so it's easy to find. Perhaps it's a typo for "the".

It's a wiki. You can fix it yourself.

Finally!
Probably our efforts writing nVidia, letting them know, counted.
Installation worked fine for me as well - W7 Ultimate from scratch etc / I'm not using their system anymore, I just installed the new driver from over the existent driver (the old one still available on Toshiba website, but clean at least :P).
Looking forward to knowing how it's working guys!
I noticed that the movement is smoother now...

Would it be possible to flash an nvidia geforce 8800 gtx

I know a flashed 7800 gtx is available for a late g5, but wondering if an 8800 gtx can be flashed to do the same.

Not possible to flash because there's no open firmware image to flash with. You'd have to write the FCode from scratch. And since the 8800 is a different generation from the 7800 for which a rom image is available, the changes in the rom will very likely be non-trivial (i.e. not just changing some ids).
However, I've recently read that the hackintosh folks are using so called Injectors in order to use normal PC cards without EFI firmware. As far as I understand, the situation is very similar to using a PC card in a g5. You'd lose the OF screens, but once the OS X driver gets control, it should be business as usual. I'd be interested in hearing whether anyone has pursued this strategy on the ppc macs?

Preemptive mobo replacement T61's with Nvidia quadro 140m ?

Have been doing some reading on the Nvidia problems. I own two T61's (6457-DSU, 8889-26U) which have not had a GPU failure yet. The dates (next to serial number) on the back of these machines are 08/03 and 08/02 respectively...although the 6457 does have an internal date stamp that is June, 2008 I believe.   My questions are:
a) what is the failure probability, and b) what is availability of known 'good' replacement boards (intel or newest Nvidia)? I understand that it's hard to answer the first question. With OS, memory, wireless, and SSD upgrades, I'm happy with how these computers are performing.   If I'm in there replacing thermal material (thanks TuuS for that suggestion) I wouldn't mind going further with the board replacement if I can find good ones. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Solved!

If you are referring to the date on the nVidia chip itself, it uses a different coding system YY/WW (year/week) instead of YY/MM (year/month) that the laptop uses so an 08/06 would be febuary 2008 not June 2008.
As for availability of boards, I can get the 08/08 boards for your 15.4" model, or the Intel boards. for the 14" standard screen model, they weren't in production when when the updated gpu was used but there are a couple brand new (old stock) boards that were recently uncovered which have gpu chips from 2010. They won't be available long and as far as I know are the only one's availbable anywhere. You can buy them refurbished from ibm still, but they usually have the same problematic gpu chip and come with a shocking price tag. Intel boards are the most cost effective option.
However, if you want to keep your current boards in service as long as possible I recommend you clean and reseat your heatsinks every 1-2 years, get all the dust out and try to avoid unnecessary heat/cool cycling. Don't allow them to go in/out of standby so when they are on they stay at a relatively constant temp. The biggest stress these chips face is the transition from room temp to operating temp and back. Turning the laptop on/off when it's not necessary will take it's toll on the gpu.
I also agree that these are great systems and well worth keeping.

I really should figure out pkgbuild by now but I'm checking here first.

Yes. Seems fine for me, but not everyone.

Nvidia 100.14.03 BETA!

Good evening archers,
I have built the newest nvidia 100.14.03 BETA driver. The -utils package, a module package for tpowa's 2.6.21-rc7-ARCH kernel and the PKGBUILDs are available here: http://www.archlinux.org/~thomas/nvidia/
If you want to use the driver with any other kernel, you'll have to replace the _kernver variable in the nvidia PKGBUILD and rebuild it.
Have fun testing.

Excellent job with the drivers. I rebuilt them for the 2.6.20-ARCH kernel with only one small problem! The md5sum failed for the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.03-pkg0.run file. Note that this is the 64bit version.
After downloading the file a few times I just edited the PKGBUILDs and replaced the md5sum of 9b64aee889f7b8d415a607d8f6c3b3ec with f97a213153692fc31014397132df3f63 which is what I kept getting on my downloads of the file. Things seem to be working fine.
Thanks again for the packages!

[Solved] Xorg 1.5 screwed up my NVIDIA

Hi,
Today I did a pacman -Syu and I got the newest NVIDIA driver installed and the newest Xorg. Everything broke. Well not exactly everything. But my settings are all screwed up. For a start my screen refuses to load at the normal resolution (1680x1050). I got a default 1024x860 (or whatever it is). Also my colour depth is 16. And regardless of any changes I make in NVIDIA settings manager the changes never stick. Also my compiz-fusion is totally screwed up. When it starts up my screen goes completely white. I have to blindly alt+F2 and run kwin to be able to do anything.
Also my fonts are really small.

hmmm, I have exactly the same problem and I also use the nvidia-96xx.
I noticed that I only get the scrambled text for the lines beyond 20 lines...so if I rescale the height of my window to 20 lines I never get scrambled text and and when I change the height of the window larger then 20 lines, only the 20+ lines get scrambled.

Satellite X200-21F: Nvidia geforce 8600m GT shows only 256MB

High everyone, thanks for reading this thread.
I bought an Sat x200-21F.
So the problem is that the dedicated memory on my geforce 8600m GT is supposed to be 512MB, but it only shows 256MB.
I activated the sli mode, but it still only shows 256MB of dedicated graphic ram.
The funny thing is, it does not even seem to have better performances in games!
If anyone can help me to enable the 512mo of dedicated memory?
That would be nice thanks.

the problem is: you would NEVER get the power of the two GPU's, because the Pc identify's the two graphic-cards, but you could only use one, at least for games, because to use these two cards effectively, you must have also an Nvdia- cipset (board)---but the toshiba laptops have got one from Intel: http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cmod.to?coid=-33936 (look into the detailed specs! )
but thats at least this what i'm thinking, shared by many other people with this problem.
However, you could get a bit power back, if you change the nvidia settings...search for that in the internet, i swear you find helpsites... also, you must try to get always the newest nvidia drivers (also forceware drivers-which is the same *idontknow*) and disable/deactivate unused programms beore gaming... but although this is very bad, ALL my games are running well!
--> use newest drivers (not on the toshiba website, they are old ... go again to laptopvideo2go.com), change nvidia control pannel settings (help on internet) and: DEACTIVATE VISTA AERO-PROGRAMMS! They really munch your working memory... ( search also for programms like "ATITool" or "RivaTuner" to try to overclockingyou GPU...but be careful! (i dont use it, its to difficult for me))
Much luck for your next gaming-experience^^

Compiz-fusion, nvidia GeForce 8600M GT, no Compiz-fusion configurator.

Hi there,
I have few issues with the Compiz-fusion...
1. I have the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT card, one thing is for sure - i can play The Witcher without any trouble. And Compiz-Fusion is running very slow... Maybe not very slow, but i think, that a card that can handle The Witcher - should have no trouble with sth like Compiz-Fusion... I've installed the newest Nvidia drivers, everything seems to be OK... But it isnt... C-F is running slow, making me mad ;]
2. I can't use the ccsm... AFAIK, ccsm should be the graphical configurator for Compiz-Fusion... But i have some trouble with locales... i'm using Polish locales, and the (standard?) en_EN UTF8 locales...

Thanks for the reply.
I did that, restarted Xserver with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
no black screen after fusion-icon command this time (I suppose because Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" is off)
but when i select Compiz as a Window Mnager from fusion-icon I have no borders in my windows and no effects and I canot switch throw windows. Why is that...?
after fusion-icon command I take this exit:
* Detected Session: kde
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
* Using the GTK Interface
* Starting Compiz
... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp

compiz (core) - Fatal: glXCreateContext failed
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0
Why I take Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
and
compiz (core) - Fatal: glXCreateContext failed
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0
is there something wrong wiht my drivers? I installed them from the official repo.
