Details

Description:
Package requires patching the same as https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52734 so that it can load successfully on 4.9 or later kernels
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-nvidia/packages/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-304xx/trunk/debian/module/debian/patches/drm-driver-legacy.patch?revision=7149&view=co

Additional info:
Affected versions 304.135-2 and 304.135-3
Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to load the module
Note:
I can not test this personally due to lack of hardware but it has been confirmed here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1701275#p1701275
If no maintainer can test the package also due to lack of hardware perhaps the package should be dropped?
This task depends upon
