Tried to do according the instructions, but got this: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.199.02.run ... Passed kernel-6.4.patch ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Here is my kernel-6.4.patch:

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks fellas!

the makepkg diff by cysp74 and the instructions by SoftExpert on how to build and install helped a lot. thank you both <3 hope this gets orphaned again soon, so one of you can grab it; it was for most of Spring '23 after Menelkir left.

@circl and @SoftExpert: there's no need to send redundant orphan requests, there are already three, one is enough.

Thanks SoftExpert, I hope this patch is integrated soon, was forced to use internal graphics for about 20 minutes, which may or may not be better than this GPU but oh well

Hello @SoftExpert, @cysp74

I confirm the 6.4 patch is not required on my system (with GeForce GTX 765M / GK106M), everything works OK without it.

Edit: I'm using linux package version 6.4.1-arch1-1.

Thank you, Luc

@cysp74: On my system, I needed the 6.4 patch to have DKMS build the kernel module for 6.4.x kernel line. Not needed for 6.1.x-6.3.x ...

@SoftExpert: I don't think so *6.4.patch is necessary for having a proper build of 470.199.02. If you take a moment and look into the code, you can see since there is proper solution instead of for the problem. So, as I mentioned earlier, the PKGBUILD for 470.199.02 is quite straight. I'm still waiting for this package get orphaned....

@SoftExpert Thank you very much! I gonna do that ;)

@erickwill: you can just clone this Git repository (or create an empty directory somewhere on your home directory) and then replace the PKGBUILD file contents with what I have listed. You should also create a kernel-6.4.patch file with the content I listed. Then you run makepkg and, if you had all the requirements in place, you can run makepkg -sicC to install and also clean the build directories.
