Just compiled it.

You beat me to it this week.

Did not even try to „beat“ anyone... Just was up a bit later than usual and opened mainline page by mistake.

Got the nVidia legacy driver(s) working in 3.13-rc5

All I did was...

vindsl@Zuul:~$ gksudo gedit /usr/src/nvidia-304-304.117/nv-acpi.c

To find the location of your 'nv-acpi.c' file, try...

$ whereis nv-acpi.c

Comment-out this section...

/*   if (pNvAcpiObject->notify_handler_installed)
*    {
*        NV_ACPI_OS_WAIT_EVENTS_COMPLETE();
*
*        // remove event notifier
*        status = acpi_remove_notify_handler(device->handle, ACPI_DEVICE_NOTIFY, nv_acpi_event);
*    }
*/

Save.

Install 3.13-rc5.

Reboot.

Simple pimple!

omg VinDSL....IT WORKED!! thanks so much for posting instructions! i had tried a similar edit a few times before without success, now i know why...

i was omitting the / at the beginning of the edit and at the end.

incredibly simple and now working great! thanks again! now i'm off to try and compile it myself, but in the mean time:

My pleasure, bro!

The 'fix' alluded me for weeks -- it was too simple, I guess. LoL!

Since we're hacking the nVidia driver, it should stick on future kernel updates.

The fix will need to reapplied when the nVidia driver is updated, not the kernel.

That's my best guess...

haha...you made my day VinDSL!!

Thanks VinDSL,
worked excellent.
Now TV is working again.

[VinDSL]

Welcome! Thanks, for the confirmation.

This hack should keep us going, until someone patches the official nVidia release(s).
