Description Helmut Auer 2019-01-08 11:50:54 UTC

The CONFIG_CHECK in the nvidia-drivers-415 ebuild requires CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU not to be set. In my distribution I want to set this to M but then I cannot install the drivers package.
I would vote for setting
CONFIG_CHECK="!DEBUG_MUTEXES ~!I2C_NVIDIA_GPU ...

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Ebuild fails

Have you actually tested the combination?

Comment 2 Helmut Auer 2019-01-08 19:32:37 UTC

No I haven't, but a kernel with module X built as externatl module should be the same as a kernel built without that module ...

Comment 3 Helmut Auer 2019-01-08 19:34:42 UTC

P.S: but its compiling fine with CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU=m

Comment 4 Helmut Auer 2019-01-28 09:59:48 UTC

Hello
As a circumvention for my distribution I am using now:

sed -i /usr/src/linux/.config \
-e "s%^CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU=m%# CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU=m%"

emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers

sed -i /usr/src/linux/.config \
-e "s%^# CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU=m%CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU=m%"

Anyway changing this in the ebuild would be nicer :)

Regards
Helmut

Why does the ebuild complain about this at all? It is a needed driver for the USB-C port on Turing cards. The nvidia driver doesn't take care of this.
