Thread-Topic: nvidia 390.138 build failure on 5.9 kernel

Older Nvidia hardware such as the 500 series cards use the legacy Nvidia 390.138 driver. This driver fails to build on the 5.9 kernel.

Apparently Nvidia knows about it:

https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-driver-not-yet-supported-for-linux-kernel-5-9/157263

Fortunately, the open source community has stepped up and produced a patch.

https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5840

The patch in this report came from the archlinux forum:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259936

Patch worked for me, using rpmfusion akmod-nvidia-390xx package on 5.9 kernel with a 550 ti.

Thanks,
Andy
