|
||
|
|
----------------------------------
|
||

||
|
|
To install the nVidia driver:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* make sure installed kernel headers (linux-headers) match kernel (linux-image),
|
||
|
|
otherwise DKMS won't build.

|
* install nvidia-driver (note: this will build a kernel module, so requires
|
||
|
|
a working compiler)
|
||
|
|
* run `nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info` by hand and make note of PCI BusID
