Manually Patching

On new kernels, the Nvidia driver will probably need to be patched even if it is the most recent driver.

To extract and apply a patch on the proprietary Nvidia drivers:

# ./nvidia.run -x
# cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.66
# patch  -p1 -i ../linux-4.11.patch
## Run the installer like you normally would on the nvidia driver blob
# ./nvidia-installer
