Re: [Slightly OT] video driver for NVIDIA Quadro

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,


I know Nvidia still supports it,  their helpdesk person told me.  I don't know what optimus is,  but I have 2 M6800 laptops and a M6700  SI'll see if I can find that. Someone else told me that  that RHEL/Centos 8 just has a lot less drivers included (I don't know if that is true though)

I was able to build/compile the drivers with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.73.01.run on 4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64, it gave me a warning about pkcfg, but no other warnings/errors and seem to install, however, after booting it still didn't use that driver, but the nouveau one

Not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison as I'm on Ubuntu, but just to show that Nvidia still supports this card (I'm on the same laptop - m6700 - though lower powered GPU). I have enabled Optimus in the BIOS and also installed bumblee for Optimus [1] support. $ ubuntu-drivers devices == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 == modalias : pci:v000010DEd000011BEsv00001028sd0000153Fbc03sc00i00 vendor : NVIDIA Corporation model : GK104GLM [Quadro K3000M] driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free recommended driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-driver-418-server - distro non-free driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin $ dpkg -l nvidia* *bee* | awk '/^(Des|\| Sta!|\||\+)/{print}; /^ii/{print}' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-================================-========================-============-=============================================== ii bumblebee 3.2.1-22 amd64 NVIDIA Optimus support for Linux ii nvidia-compute-utils-390 390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 amd64 NVIDIA compute utilities ii nvidia-dkms-390 390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 amd64 NVIDIA DKMS package ii nvidia-driver-390 390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 amd64 NVIDIA driver metapackage ii nvidia-kernel-common-390 390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 amd64 Shared files used with the kernel module ii nvidia-kernel-source-390 390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 amd64 NVIDIA kernel source package ii nvidia-prime 0.8.15.3~0.20.04.1 all Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime ii nvidia-settings 440.82-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver ii nvidia-utils-390 390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 amd64 NVIDIA driver support binaries [1]:
