Copying drm_legacy.h from previous linux headers (6.7) to fix the drm issue

[Rainb0-0]

Hello.
I'm no expert on this stuff, but I noticed this comment on the aur page for this repo suggesting :

1. extracting drm_legacy.h file from linux-headers-6.7
2. moving the file over to /usr/lib/modules/6.8.4-arch1-1/build/include/drm/drm_legacy.h
3. running dkms command and mkinitcpio

it apparently solves the issue. Is there any viable method for using this in action ?
Thanks in advance

I don't see any issue disabling drm on 340xx. Please point your issue out exactly other than providing a fix for no reason.

It was reported few times that with drm disabled there is no 3d acceleration:

The fix actually isn't mine.

Configure your xorg server according to what the .install says. Those comments have nothing to do with this issue.

I can confirm that there is no issue. Thank you for your work!
Then why the people complain about it?
I use the LTS kenrel and I've never updated past nvidia-340xx-dkms 340.108-35.
