Description Evgenii Shatokhin 2018-06-26 01:22:39 MSK
Upstream update to v340.107 + a few more changes.
Comment 1 Evgenii Shatokhin 2018-06-26 01:41:06 MSK
Advisory:
The series 340.x of NVidia graphics drivers (GeForce 8, 9, etc.) was updated to v340.107. This update brings a few bug fixes and improves compatibility with kernel 4.15+. In addition, initrd will no longer be rebuilt when the driver is being installed or removed: rebuilding is not needed for generic (non-hostonly) initrds. Another significant change is that nvidia-uvm kernel module is no longer built by default and CUDA may not work in some cases as a result: NVidia does not support nvidia-uvm in 340.x with the newer kernels anymore.

Details from upstream:
Changes since v340.104:
* v340.106: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1028805/
* v340.107: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1036391/


Notes:
CUDA may stop working with nvidia340 (I doubt someone cares about that but still). In the past, nvidia-uvm kernel module was used in such scenarios but it is no longer supported by NVidia in this driver series. NVidia claims that the hardware nvidia-uvm was used for is supported by the newer drivers, e.g., 390.x series.
