#How to check nvidia driver install

Install -Dt '$builddir/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids' tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids Install the nvidia-dkms package (or a specific branch), and the corresponding headers for your kernel.Įnsure your kernel has CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=y, and if using CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF then this is needed in the PKGBUILD (since kernel 5.16): If using a custom kernel, compilation of the NVIDIA kernel modules can be automated with DKMS.

#How to check nvidia driver drivers

For the Curie (NV40/G70) series and older, drivers are no longer packaged for Arch Linux.For the Tesla (NV50/G80-90-GT2 XX) series, install the nvidia-340xx-dkms AUR package.However, NVIDIA's legacy drivers are still available and might provide better 3D performance/stability. It thus might be easier to use the nouveau driver, which supports the old cards with the current Xorg. This means that these drivers do not officially support the current Xorg version. If you have an older card, NVIDIA no longer actively supports drivers for your card.

Once the driver has been installed, continue to #Xorg configuration or #Wayland. The nvidia package contains a file which blacklists the nouveau module, so rebooting is necessary. For 32-bit application support, also install the corresponding lib32 package from the multilib repository (e.g.

For even older cards, have a look at #Unsupported drivers.Ĥ.

For the Fermi (NVC0/GF1 XX) series, install the nvidia-390xx-dkms AUR package.

For the Kepler (NVE0/GK XXX) series, install the nvidia-470xx-dkms AUR package.This is currently alpha quality on desktop cards, so there will be issues.Alternatively for the Turing (NV160/TU XXX) series or newer the nvidia-open package may be installed for open source kernel modules on the linux kernel (On other kernels nvidia-open-dkms must be used).If these packages do not work, nvidia-beta AUR may have a newer driver version that offers support.For the Maxwell (NV110/GM XXX) series and newer, install the nvidia package (for use with the linux kernel) or nvidia-lts (for use with the linux-lts kernel) package.nvidia-open does not work on systems that have AMD integrated GPUs due to nvidia-open issue #282.You can alternatively try nvidia-open and continue using IBT. This security feature is responsible for mitigating a class of exploit techniques, but is deemed safe as a temporary stopgap solution. Until this is fixed, a workaround is disabling the Indirect Branch Tracking CPU security feature by setting the ibt=off kernel parameter from the bootloader. nvidia may not boot on Linux 5.18 (or later) on systems with Intel CPUs due to FS#74886/ FS#74891.When installing dkms, read Dynamic Kernel Module Support#Installation.
