Hi guys,

Noob here. So the current 565 version of nvidia has some visual glitches in certain games so I wanted to downgrade to the rpmfusion 560 package. After installing all the packages the akmods fails to build and i cannot understand the log. Below are all the errors, anyone have any idea whats going wrong?

“grep error: /var/cache/akmods/nvidia/560.35.03-1-for-6.12.5-200.fc41.x86_64.failed.log

The code would need to be patched to support the 6.12 kernel.

Have you tried that latest 565 drivers? You may have been using the beta 565, now the stable 565 is in rpmfusion (stable according to nvidia).

Ah thanks, than at least I know where the problem is. Already on the latest branch unfortunately, guess I’ll have to wait on nvidia.

I just ran into this problem on my laptop where 560.35.03 works, but 565.77 doesn’t.

I created the patch and the akmod rpm that includes it.
