[solved] Problem making package nvidia

Hi
I need to downgrade xorg-server and nvidia driver, because it is buggy as hell. I'm trying to compile nvidia package 290.10 but all I get is this.

[lukasz@lukaszdell nvidia]$ LC_ALL=C  makepkg -d

Re: [solved] Problem making package nvidia

You need a patch to compile this version with newer kernels: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=173612

Also, note that this version doesn't work with xorg-server-1.12

Re: [solved] Problem making package nvidia

Well I don't know what am I doing wrong, but I still can't compile this package. Can anyone help me with creating proper PKGBUILD?

It looks like this patch works only on 3.3.1-rc1 http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/ … a-drivers/

Re: [solved] Problem making package nvidia

The patch isn't for one specific kernel, it's a general fix for the nvidia's compile script. It's actually wrong, but you don't need to know that , it works on Arch.

Re: [solved] Problem making package nvidia

@Gusar, can you post a working modified PKGBUILD ? Here are the source files http://dl.dropbox.com/u/412776/nvidia%2 … ls.tar.bz2

EDIT
Problem was solved. I forgot to delete the "space" in the name of the package folder. Linux doesn't like spaces There is no need to apply any patch. So what @gusar said is not necessary.
