New restriction of NVIDIA-DRIVERS is <3.11

I have masked 3.10.0 and above because nVidia drivers 319.32 wouldn't install on the new kernel.
Today I got nVidia driver 325.08, I was wondering if it was 3.10 compatible, I've looked around three times now and I can't find a page that shows nVidia drivers versions in relation to kernels.
Does anyone have nVidia drivers on 3.10.* or know if there's a page somewhere that shows the compatibility matrix?
Cheers,
Kirk

I'm already successfully using 325.08 just fine. I just want to know if I can use it with kernel 3.10.0. I'm currently using it with 3.9.8 with no issues.
When I tried the previous nVidia drivers in 3.10.0, the ebuild said it needed <3.10.0, I'm just wondering if 325.08 is okay for 3.10.0.

I think it is not.
And thank you for the info running the new beta driver without issues ... |

…I took a stab in the dark in order to determine if the new driver was 'supposed' to work with Kernel 3.10 and… | Code: | | bench6 nvidia-drivers # grep -i kernel nvidia-drivers-325.08.ebuild |
returns | Code: |
IUSE="acpi multilib kernel_FreeBSD kernel_linux pax_kernel +tools +X"
kernel_linux? ( >=sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1 )
kernel_linux? ( virtual/linux-sources )
if use kernel_linux && kernel_is ge 3 10 ; then
ewarn "Gentoo supports kernels which are supported by NVIDIA"
ewarn "which are limited to the following kernels:"
ewarn "<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.10"
ewarn "<sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.10" |
…and as you surmised, it's not.
Cheers

Hello,
The 325.08 is working with 3.10 kernel. If you follow the post here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-963230.html (instructions from n00berry) and follow the instruction from user Robert_SoCal https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/549208/patch-for-325-08-on-linux-3-10/ :
....
copy patch "nvidia-drivers-linux-3.10.patch.txt" https://devtalk.nvidia.com/cmd/default/download-comment-attachment/58795/ instead of the one provided in the first link
| Quote: |
3) Open the patch program and change the following lines:
diff -ur -X - NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17-no-compat32.orig/kernel/nv-i2c.c NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17-no-compat32/kernel/nv-i2c.c
--- NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17-no-compat32.orig/kernel/nv-i2c.c 2013-04-26 00:22:30.000000000 -0400
+++ NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17-no-compat32/kernel/nv-i2c.c 2013-05-13 05:20:55.571981365 -0400
into:
diff -ur -X - NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.08.orig/kernel/nv-i2c.c NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.08/kernel/nv-i2c.c
--- NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.08.orig/kernel/nv-i2c.c 2013-04-26 00:22:30.000000000 -0400
+++ NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.08/kernel/nv-i2c.c 2013-05-13 05:20:55.571981365 -0400
4) Then perform the same action on these lines:
diff -ur -X - NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17-no-compat32.orig/kernel/nv-procfs.c NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17-no-compat32/kernel/nv-procfs.c
--- NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17-no-compat32.orig/kernel/nv-procfs.c 2013-04-26 00:22:30.000000000 -0400
+++ NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17-no-compat32/kernel/nv-procfs.c 2013-05-22 04:52:45.229495748 -0400
Change to:
diff -ur -X - NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.08.orig/kernel/nv-procfs.c NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.08/kernel/nv-procfs.c
--- NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.08.orig/kernel/nv-procfs.c 2013-04-26 00:22:30.000000000 -0400
+++ NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.08/kernel/nv-procfs.c 2013-05-22 04:52:45.229495748 -0400 |
5) replace linux-3.10.patch from the first link with this "nvidia-drivers-linux-3.10.patch.txt" (i think you must preserve the name "linux-3.10.patch")
6) install drivers

As of NVIDIA-DRIVERS-325.15, Kernels 3.10.* are supported and functioning on two systems on my bench.
New restriction of NVIDIA-DRIVERS is <3.11

So, why the update process doesn't install the newest nvidia-drivers right from the emerge command if it is supported?
The latest nvidia-drivers an emerge update install is nvidia-drivers-319.32 and it fails if you have updated to kernel 3.10.x.
That's a shame when updates are not properly released.
