Blacklisting nouveau, nvidia and bbswitch unnecessary on current hardware/drivers #79

Closed usuallycwdillon closed 2 years ago

usuallycwdillon commented 2 years ago

Users of -G05 and -G06 libraries (currently nvidia driver versions 470.x and 510.x) may need to move or delete the 09-nvidia-modprobe-bbswitch-G04.conf file under /usr/lib/modprobe.d/. Nvidia render offloading obviates bbswitch and prevents the nvidia drivers from loading at all.

Maybe this is just an instruction under troubleshooting?

No, prime-select takes care of loading the kernel modules. Seems you have installed suse-prime, but it isn't configured. I suggest to configure it via prime-select nvidia or prime-select offload.

I meanwhile handled this issue in the (open)SUSE nvidia driver packages G04, G05, G06.

%post(nvidia-glG06): run 'prime-select nvidia' even on system without Intel GPU visible on the PCI bus, if suse-prime package is mistakenly (still) installed to avoid nvidia kernel modules to be blacklisted

Closing therefore.
