Description: NVIDIA binary kernel module source
This package provides the source for the NVIDIA binary kernel modules
needed by nvidia-driver in a form suitable
for use by module-assistant.
.
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, 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-source/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.
