Description Adrien D 2016-09-13 21:40:53 CEST

Hi team Mageia,

Description of problem:
I have a computer with NVidia GeForce 6150.
I need the nvidia304 driver, but after kernel upgrade, there are no Graphical Display.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-server-4.4.16

Can you make the correct RPM for 4.4 kernel series ?

Thanks

Comment 1 Rémi Verschelde 2016-09-14 08:49:58 CEST

The nvidia304 pre-compiled driver was removed as it violated the GPL terms of the kernel - it should have been obsoleted on update by dkms-nvidia304 and the module built at startup, did that not happen?

I don't know if it violated the GPL terms of the kernel but in others distros, it exists.
Whe i update my system (mageia 5) i don't have notifications about driver compilation.
How compile it at boot ? 
I think it's not compiled because it doesn't work.

whats the output of:

rpm -qa |grep nvidia304
rpm -qa |grep kernel

For the record, the bug report has been closed as WONTFIX by the bug reporter himself, not Mageia packagers.
