Yes, and I have it, but it fails to apply. The patch instructs are a bit
obtuse to me. I've watched the errors because they can't code worth a
damn
go by even when it says the build is good, been doing it for a couple of
years. Strange things have happened in that 2 years too, such as getting
LSN0 wiped clean at least once. Screw it, I need something more stable
than
NVIDIA's own drivers have proven to be.
I wish I could test it. My laptop is trying to resemble a nuclear reactor
at the moment. (Overheats on boot.) I hope to order a new one tomorrow,
but it will be a few weeks before I get the new one.
Maybe on the home system... I will check what kernel I am using there.

Chuckle. Either that, or if you are good at it, you get accused of
walking on
water, which I have been occasionally. Even though I've been given the
rolex
and retired into a transmitter maintenance role for 4 years now, the phone
still rings when the SHTF.
In my job if you are good at it you are more likely accused of having a
pact with satan before being accused of walking on water.
