Long story short, I've been playing around with the concept of VGA-Passthrough.

I have a very specific setup in mind, but I need to be able to use and update a highly customized kernel (Gentoos strongest point right?) this involves both custom configurations and a patch (ACS Override)

I will also need to patch the Nvidia proprietary drivers which I have absolutely no idea how to do so.

This is specifically what I'm trying to do with the above.

How do I apply these patches in gentoo? Is there any way to automate the process so I don't have to worry about it when I update the kernel/drivers?

Come on guys, nobody? I really need to get this done :(

I've never really done patching before, not by hand anyhow

It's called "Applying non-standard patches" and is documented in the handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=3&chap=6#doc_chap6

Basically, you copy your patch to an aptly named subdirectory of /etc/portage/patches and it will be applied automatically. A few packages don't support it though.

Thanks! That's super easy. The Nvidia driver patch just simply worked. But the ACS override patch fails when I try to emerge gentoo-sources. Could someone help me find out exactly where it fails?

I copied it from the page starting at

This is the output
Code:

Solved it, anyone interested can find my updated ACS Override patch here.

My first time making a patch with diff, but it seems to have worked :wink: all I have to do now is test it, and for this I need to recompile a bit.

In case, if someone still interesting in patch, I support patch for stable versions of kernel

I support acs override patch for stable kernel https://github.com/feniksa/gentoo_ACS_override_patch

If someone need ACS patch for gentoo:
1. Clone repo: git clone https://github.com/feniksa/gentoo_ACS_override_patch
2. Put files to /etc/portage/patches
3. Re-emerge gentoo-sources package
4. Re-build kernel
