Listmates,
I was going to test the nvidia driver fan issue by downgrading to the
next older version of the driver with:
[19:34 archangel:/srv/www] # pacman -U
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-180.51-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-utils-180.51-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data...
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nvidia: requires kernel26<2.6.30
But as somewhat expected, I got the dependency error shown above. It
may not be possible, but if the nvidia install on arch just compiles the driver
against the kernel, then I don't see why not. But then again if it is something
that has changed from a module to a part of the kernel during that period of
time (or something similar), then I could see why the older driver couldn't be
compiled against the new kernel.
Before trying anything I would regret, I thought I would ask. Is it
possible? If so, how? Is "-d" OK here? Worst case, I just end up in runlevel 3
reinstalling the current driver again, right?
