Community provided build for 5.27 with nvidia-legacy: https://batocera.org/users/alexxandrefs/5.27-nvidia-legacy/ I’m looking for someone to maintain this c...

Thank you very much for this info, I found the wiki page . I'll set up a docker container and see how it goes.

Thank you

s1dh 340.xx will not compile cleanly with our current kernel. Look for patches. I would recommend you check the archlinux package.

poke

Do you mean that one : https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia-340xx/ ?

If so , I ' m not sure to understand very well how to gather the pieces of this puzzle 😉

Could you describe the main steps , in order for me to have some checkpoints 😉

s1dh

Did you meant "check the archlinux package" ... for the patches ?

so that would be thos ones 💯
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/nvidia-340xx

and do you mean adapting those patch in the docker build container to install 340.XX drivers into it ?

poke

s1dh yes. only the first one, 4.11, is necessary.

poke

s1dh I just correct some merge problems in my nvidia-legacy branch. if you are still working on 340.xx, i would recommend you refresh your local copy.

In fact , I'm learning docker basics at the moment, (I'm used to FreeBSD jails), and I didn't start the build yet, I need to read a lot of documentation. But for sure I will refresh before doing so .

Thanks for your help /advices.

poke Hi, thanks so much for working on this! I didn't get a chance to grab the image while it was up, bit would really benefit from it, can you send to me?

Doze

s1dh

managed to compile with nvidia 340.xx drivers ??? If you can make the image available.

poke

aspiretoshred I will released an image based on 5.21 soon.

poke

Build updated to batocera.linux 5.21.

Hello poke !
I think I will try your version since I have a small loss of performance in 5.21 (noticeable on dreamcast) and I think it may be due to the nvidia driver update (my card is a GT 750 Ti). I also hope that it will make gamecube more playable.
You said in a post that it is possible to flash with etcher. Should I flash the file that is named boot.tar.xz or batocera-5.21....img.xz ?
Thanks!

For new install flash the ...img.xz
For up/downgrading extract the boot.tar.xz to your usb-drive

Thanks for include old nvidia legacy drivers.
I believe that would be nice to have old nvidia drivers always included in x86 32bit distributions designed for "Old Computer".
Regards.

poke

mabruli Did you have a 32-bit cpu in a nvidia-legacy supported GPU?

mabruli

@poke I don't know how to tell exactly... I used the words "Old Computer" refering to the same words used in Download section 🙂
I have 2 old computers with nvidia gpu: first one (year 2007) is a sony vaio core2duo gpu nvidia geforce Go 7400, and second one (year 2012) is a dell xps15 core i7 (gen2) gpu nvidia geforce GT 540M. I believe both supports 64bits, but I tested your builds 5.20 and 5.21 and is not working for me (the line nvidia-driver=true is enabled in my config file).
Thanks for the support!
Regards.

poke

mabruli probably 32bit systems are using very old gpus not supported by the 390.xx branch (the one I ship in the nvidia-legacy image). very old gpus should have an equivalent performance to the opensource nouveau driver. that is the case for your 7400 go.
i assume your xps15 has both an intel and a nvidia gpu, right? hybrid setups are a problem. you are stick with nouveau. i asked for help to debug the problem some time ago but did not get any reply. see https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/forum/d/1851-batocera-linux-5-20-with-nvidia-legacy-drivers-390-xx/82

mabruli

@poke I see the point regarding the 7400 go, I will use it only with intel gpu and it's ok 🙂 .

Yes, the xps15 has both intel and nvidia gpu. I would be very happy to get batocera running the nvidia gt 540m, I will read the topic that you sent me and try to help. If there's something specific that I can do to help, please let me know. Thank you again!

poke

mabruli just follow the procedure and report back your results.

aspiretoshred

Hi, is there a link to the image, was just going to use that? Thanks again!

poke

aspiretoshred which image do you want?

aspiretoshred

poke I think the 5.21 legacy nvidia, 64 bit?
