| 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
Kepler (desktop cards only), Maxwell, Volta, Turing, 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 5.10. |
