Nouveau should work largely OK, although the Tesla series (to which your card belongs) has some unfortunate random hang issues due to what we suspect is an incorrect FIFO channel switch procedure. Support should already exist in any linux distro, so as long as you don't do anything to proactively disable that support, it should work out of the box. You can try with a live cd or something if you don't want to commit. Cheers, -ilia On Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 3:13 AM Jerry Sanders <dragonspark30@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello, Name's Jerry.
