Open Source driver is used when told not to #238

Closed BlueGoliath closed 4 months ago

On 555 the Open Source variant is used even when a user inputs "N" when prompted during install.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Did you make any edit to customization.cfg ?

BlueGoliath commented 4 months ago

No. I'll try to do a reinstall as a sanity check quick.

Edit: the issue might actually be use of the GSP even when using the closed source driver.

BlueGoliath commented 4 months ago

See:

The GSP firmware is now used by default on all GPUs which support it. It can be disabled by setting the kernel module parameter NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0.

Can an option be added to set that by chance?

Tk-Glitch commented 4 months ago

Sadly that's a kernel boot parameter and that'll depend on your bootloader. That's not really something we can add on our end.

BlueGoliath commented 4 months ago

All good.
