Autore: Antonio Trkdz.tab Data: To: Dng Oggetto: [DNG] Install a new kernel
Hi All,
I didn't want to resuscitate old discussions, so I am writing a new one.
I am actually using Nvidia drivers from jessie-backports, but I would like
to try nouveau drivers for my Nvidia card to get rid of some proprietary
blobs...
With current kernel in stable(3.16), nouveau don't support my card (GTX
750).
I read somewhere that model is supported from kernel 4.1 and on.
I had a look at installing the 4.5 kernel from ascii, but it pulls a lot o
dipendences, including libsystemd0 (again....), and I would really avoid to
run a mixed sources system, if I can....
Another thing I had a small attempt at was to pull the kernel
4.3.05(ish)-libre from gnuinos, but for some reason the repository listed
in the web page didn't work in my hands.
I am also keen on compiling a new one myself (like I was used on gentoo
some time ago), but I never packaged it the debian way.
So, my doubts are:
Can I compile the 4.1 without having to get the gcc4.9 compiler?
Do you suggest to compile the latest sources (4.5 I think....)?
in this case would I need more or less the same dependences that the mixed
sources solution above was asking me to get?
Can you suggest a lazier solution (like pre-compiled packages)?
