kernel 6.6 + patched nvidia 340 + 8600gt card = no luck

[obana48]

Unfortunately no luck with this combination.

I've been struggling to make a fresh Debian 12.4 (upgraded to kernel 6.6) working with my old nvidia 8600gt for a day. But no luck.

After a successful compilation I ran into ignoreABI flag problem. I put this flag into the ServerFlags section of my Xorg.conf but Xorg still doesn't start. IgnoreABI option is taken in account and ignores ABI but server shows just black screen.

Hello,

I'm happy to let you know that I was able to get the 340.108 driver working on kernel 6.11.

I've created a patch and started publishing information on GitHub. You're welcome to use it — here’s the link:

I'm writing to you from Russia. If my work is helpful to you, I would really appreciate it if you could help me in return by spreading the word about my project on English-speaking forums or websites. Unfortunately, my English is not good enough to do this effectively myself.

Thank you very much in advance!
