legacy GPU jsou GPU starší generace, která už nejsou podporovaná v Unified UNIX Graphics Driver. Nicméně jsou dále podporovaná tzv. Legacy GPU" drivers, které jsou periodicky updatované vzhledem k novým jádrům linuxu.

Na stránce najdeme:

The 340.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs.
...
Quadro FX 770M 	0x065C
...

To by mohlo vyřešit některé problémy, např. s uspáním notebooku.

$ lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12

Additional information (citace):

Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package.

Also note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver.

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run

One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig

Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

See the README for more detailed instructions.

Stáhnu soubor:

  • 69960567 (67 MB) NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run
$ file NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run: POSIX shell script executable (binary data)

Je to divné, 67 MB skript? Aha, ono to končí:

else
    $echo "Cannot decompress $0"; exit 1
fi

        cleanupDecompress

exit $res

END_OF_STUB

Takže ono to obsahuje tu binárku.

No dobrá, nebudu to instalovat rovnou z tohoto staženého souboru, ale přidržím se rady:

After a successful search take a note of the resulting driver version number:

Což je v mém případě

Version: 	340.102

a použiji příkaz:

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-340

Ještě předtím ale zjišťuji, že z příkazové řádky mohu spustit příkazy:

  • nvidia-bug-report.sh
  • nvidia-cuda-mps-control
  • nvidia-cuda-mps-server
  • nvidia-debugdump
  • nvidia-detector
  • nvidia-persistenced
  • nvidia-settings
  • nvidia-smi
  • nvidia-xconfig

Nějak k tomu nenacházím manuálové stránky. Ale když zkusím

$ nvidia-settings 

tak mi vyběhne to informační okénko, kde se ukazuje m.j.:

NVIDIA Driver Version: 340.102

Takže já tam ten správný driver už mám nainstalovaný?

$ nvidia-detector 
    none
$ nvidia-cuda-mps-control 
    Cannot find MPS control daemon process
$ nvidia-cuda-mps-server 
$ nvidia-cuda-mps-control 
    Cannot find MPS control daemon process
$ nvidia-detector 
    none

$ nvidia-smi
