Description: NVIDIA open 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-open-kernel-source/README.Debian.gz
for building information. If you want the kernel module to be automatically
installed via DKMS, install nvidia-open-kernel-dkms instead.
.
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.
