Hi all,
I’m in the process of moving to Rocky 9.5 for all of our Flames. What version of the BMD driver do you need for this. Ideally I’d be running 2025.2.5 but I’m open to whatever the latest version of 2026 is. Either way… installing the driver as I’ve done for the last few years doesn’t seem to work. The driver doesn’t seem to build for some reason. How have y’all solved this?
This is the output I see in terminal after trying to install it. I’ve tried v 12.8.1 because I believe that’s the supported version, but honestly I’ve been running version 14.2 for the last few years without issue.
As root, I’m running: rpm -i desktopvideo-14.2a1.x86_64.rpm
And this is the output:
