I am having a permanent fan problem with my obviously esoteric graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 630, see [1], [2]) for which I found a viable, but tediuos workaround: - get the kernel src.rpm - apply a specific patch to the nouveau driver - build and install new kernel rpms (see [3]).
I still have to do this on Fedora 21 with the actual kernel version 3.17.6-300, and I fear it will last a while until this problem might be addressed (if ever). Now doing this the way described in [3] always means copying and moving GBs of code (not to mention the build time), although just a few lines of code are affected. So I thought about rebuilding only the nouveau module instead of compiling the complete kernel source each time the Fedora kernel gets an update. Of course, there are lots of instructions available on building kernel modules, but I found none that refers to a Redhat/Fedora kernel source (there is a section 'Building Only Kernel Modules' in the wiki [3], but this is sort of inapprehensible for me and seems to be outdated). So any hint would be greatly appreciated.
