Hi all,
As some may already have noticed we have added newer NVIDIA drivers
(driver/graphics/nvidia-390 and driver/graphics/nvidia-460) recently
which should support newer graphic card models from NVIDIA. Nvidia-390
is now our default driver and will automatically be installed after a
pkg update. If you have an older graphics card, like eg. NV295, you will
need to downgrade to nvidia-340 after the next update. Additionally, we
have now the latest nvidia-460 driver which is 64-bit only. The process
of switching between driver versions is a little bit cumbersome still,
eg. if you want to switch to one of the other driver versions (340 in
the following example) you'll have to:
1. pfexec uninstall nvidia nvidia-390 xorg-video (this creates
automatically a new BE)
2. pfexec reboot (reboot into the newly created BE)
3. pfexec install nvidia-340 (it is likely that you need to reboot again)
The procedure to switch to the latest version is quite similar to the
aforementioned steps.
I would like to thank Stephan Althaus who has done most of the tests,
fixed little things and contributed the latest driver.
As the next OI Hipster release is scheduled for end of April we don't
provide new boot images yet.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
Many thanks for (both) work and info!
Is there any documentation regarding these steps available?
Also, at least for me, would be interesting to have docs how to get rid
of manually installed NVIDIA packages (from
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/solaris-display-archive/, I
had to use to get my desktop system working)?
Thanks in advance.
With best regards.
