Driver for Nvidia Geforce GTX 760

[Andy Pieters <arch-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm trying to upgrade my 5.18.10 system and the DKMS build is failing for my NVIDIA driver.

To debug it I have tried to compile the driver separately out of DKMS, but the issue that keeps coming up with the new kernel (6.2.6) is [1]

Sadly, though, my card cannot run a more recent version of the driver. When I compile e.g. the 5xx driver I get a message:

NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 GPU installed in this system is
NVRM:  supported through the NVIDIA 470.xx Legacy drivers. Please
NVRM:  visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more

So it seems that I am stuck on having to use the 470x drivers, the latest one available from Nvidia is 470.161.03, which fails to compile on Kernel >=6

So what can I do? Stay on Kernel 5.18.10 or is it likely that NVidia or the community will provide a fix for the issue in [1]?

Many thanks
