You have several options on how to download the source code (subsections of Section 1) and how to compile it (subsections of Section 2). See also [[KernelModeSetting|KernelModeSetting]] for important KMS notes. Please, read carefully. -[[The Nouveau kernel git repository|https://github.com/skeggsb/linux/]] contains one recommended branch: `master`. +[[The Nouveau kernel git repository|https://github.com/skeggsb/linux/]] contains one recommended branch: `linux-5.5`. You may not be able to compile the DRM modules against your current kernel, if it is too old (might need an -rc kernel or even Linus' git kernel). The possible errors include build failure and kernel modules that cannot be loaded. It is recommended to build your whole kernel from this branch (Section 2.1). |
