Yes, they abandoned it, but I am using this package as a base to build one for Manjaro.
This driver is starting/working with the Manjaro (Gnome) 5.12 kernel and the Zen kernel (compiled locally).
As I mentioned before, I use this package as a base, since small changes are needed to compile the non-dkms module in Manjaro.
Greetings.
I am unfamiliar with manjaro but I thought they dropped this driver a while ago. Are you using the 5.12 kernel there where you report a functional driver? Is it this package you're using to build the kernel module?
@graysky could you tell me a test to make sure everything is fine with the 5.12 kernel?
In Manjaro Gnome the system starts and I don't have the problems reported by @jayache80. In Plasma I can only start via startx on tty2, I haven't tested it with Xfce.
Greetings.
OK, if this doesn't give a functional module for the 5.12 series of kernels, we need to either 1) identify someone else's work to fix it (ie a patch from another distro or person), or 2) we need someone with expertise to fix it for us. I am not that someone nor do I have any hardware for testing.
I can confirm 2). Tested yesterday. My machine (xfce4) stills runs on Linux 5.11.7 without any issues though.
So there are two independent issues:
1) The patch shared by @qileilu is for the 460 series of drivers and not applicable to this version. 2) The package is-as does not work under 5.12.
Can someone else confirm point #2 is valid? If so, we will need to identify the reason why and see if a known fix is out there.
Whilst it builds without errors on 5.12, the system is unusable. At least with xfce4 that I am using. (xfwm fails to start). It works brilliantly on 5.10
The patch below is for 460 version..
I thought this worked with 5.12 without patches. It certainly builds which is all I can do testing-wise.
