| PackageDescription | NVIDIA binary kernel module source
This package provides the source for the NVIDIA Xorg binary kernel module
needed by nvidia-driver in a form suitable
for use by module-assistant or kernel-package.
.
The NVIDIA binary driver provides optimized hardware acceleration of
OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES applications via a direct-rendering X Server
for graphics cards using NVIDIA chip sets.
.
PLEASE read /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian.gz
for building information. If you want the kernel module to be automatically
installed via DKMS, install nvidia-kernel-dkms instead.
.
This version only supports GeForce, Quadro, NVS, Tesla, ... GPUs based on the
Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, or newer architectures. Look at the legacy packages
for older cards.
.
See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.txt.gz
for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.
.
This package contains the blobs for building kernel modules for the
amd64 architecture.
Building the kernel modules has been tested up to Linux 5.7. |
