• Bug#1091193: nvidia-tesla-470-driver can't build on linux-image-6.12.5-

    "Me too". In researching the problem, I found this comprehensive patch
    that fixes two problems with the Nvidia legacy driver for the 6.12
    linux kernel...

    Furthermore, I managed to test it by 1) working it directly into the
    nvidia tesla 470 sources in /usr/src, and 2) `sudo cat options nvidia- drm.modeset=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf', and it seems fine
    with the 6.12.6 kernel now. It obviously needs to be properly
    integrated into the package; other drivers might by affected too.
