http://onse.fi/nvidia-mgabuild/ has a very nice rpm package generator straight from the nVIDIA .run files. From http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux-display-amd64-310.19-driver-uk.html you can download NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.19.run With this latest driver the generator fails completely. + error_fatal 'unhandled parameter /' + echo 'Error: unhandled parameter /.' Error: unhandled parameter /. + exit 1 error: Bad exit status from /tmp/nvidia-mgabuild.OoOdBz/tmp/rpm-tmp.rj2xlW (%install) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /tmp/nvidia-mgabuild.OoOdBz/tmp/rpm-tmp.rj2xlW (%install) Building package failed! I already reported errors generated by the script on nVIDIA 304.37 and emailed the author of nvidia-mgabuild.sh Anssi Hannula but I never got a reply. Therefore I create a bug report this time. The other problem with the recent nVIDIA .run files is that the file nvidia-current.ko.xz is no longer created but instead nvidia.ko.xz is installed. This requires some manual work: e.g. /lib/modules/3.3.8-desktop-2.mga2/dkms/drivers/video/ cp nvidia.ko.xz nvidia-current.ko.xz /lib/modules/3.3.8-desktop-2.mga2/dkms/drivers/char/drm cp ../../video/nvidia-current.ko.xz . /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/304.51-1custom.nvidia.mga2/3.3.8-desktop-2.mga2/x86_64/module cp nvidia.ko.xz nvidia-current.ko.xz I have Mageia 2 x86_64. So I hope someone can update Anssi's script...

I'm very sorry for the long delay. The script has now been updated to work with new driver packages. Thanks for the report. Please reopen if any issues remain.

Thanks Anssi, your script works perfectly again!
