Description: NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS source
This package builds the NVIDIA binary kernel modules needed by
nvidia-driver, using DKMS.
Provided that you have the kernel header packages installed, the kernel
module will be built for your running kernel and automatically rebuilt for
any new kernel headers that are installed.
.
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.
.
This version only supports GeForce, NVS, Quadro, RTX, Tesla, ... GPUs based on
the Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing, Ampere or newer architectures.
Look at the legacy driver or Tesla driver packages for older cards.
.
See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-dkms/README.txt.gz
for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.
.
Building the kernel modules has been tested up to Linux 6.7.
.
Note: The new 'non-free-firmware' archive area has to be enabled in apt's
sources.list(.d/) in order to install firmware-nvidia-gsp.
