By the way, if you decide to switch to bbswitch-dkms + nvidia-dkms, you will probably face the same issue I faced yesterday with the nvidia card not powering off. In this case I would suggest you to take a look at this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189032 Simon Le 14. 10. 15 17:51, Bruno Pagani a écrit : > That’s just how extra modules work: they are not kernel built-in (hence the name extra), and must be build using the kernel headers corresponding to the running kernel. > > Both nvidia and bbswitch can be compiled for any custom kernel, I suggest that you take a look at DKMS (search for that in the wiki) and corresponding bbswitch-dkms and nvidia-dkms package (not sure about the name, but must be something like this). > > Bruno > > Le 14 octobre 2015 17:42:13 GMT+02:00, "João Miguel" <jmcf125@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> a écrit : >> Hey there, >> >> I've used the ABS to compile a kernel with the CONFIG_AUDIT=y and >> CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y options enabled.
