Description: NVIDIA open 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.
.
The NVIDIA open driver for graphics cards supports Turing and newer chip sets.
.
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.
