Compilation of nvidia-kernel-source with kernel 3.11.0-rc5 amd64

[Josep Lladonosa]

Hello,

I have a machine with an intel (HDA 4000, in CPU) GPU and a nvidia GPU
GTX675MX.

Default installation runs under intel GPU. I am trying to setup the system
to use the nvidia (it detects intel by default).

I got it running for X, with modeset=0 for the i915 driver (otherwise I
only got a black screen with cursor in the top left corner) and following
the instructions in Debian Wiki.

To compile driver I also needed to add the following patch in
/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/patches:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- a/nv-linux.h
+++ b/nv-linux.h
@@ -957,7 +957,11 @@ static inline int nv_execute_on_all_cpus
 #endif

 #if !defined(NV_VMWARE)
+#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 11, 0)
+#define NV_NUM_PHYSPAGES                get_num_physpages()
+#else
 #define NV_NUM_PHYSPAGES                num_physpages
+#endif
 #define NV_GET_CURRENT_PROCESS()        current->tgid
 #define NV_IN_ATOMIC()                  in_atomic()
 #define NV_LOCAL_BH_DISABLE()           local_bh_disable()

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and add a reference to it in
/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/patches/series
(in fact I did not know it if was this way, but I tried and worked)



What happens now is that logging out from X to get the lightdm again, or my
try to switch to text console is not successful (blank -bright- screen).
