any patch please?

There is some patch on phoronix forums, but I think it doesn't work. I tried to apply it manualy, maybe that is why it didn't worked for me.

It should be enough to delete line 426 of file nv.c. You can do so by extracting the .run file with the `-x` command line option, editing the file in kernel/nv.c relative to the directory created by the extraction step, and then running `./nvidia-installer` in the new directory.

It works ok

Thank you
