Howdy, I mentioned in another thread that I was going to upgrade to a much newer kernel. I also have to make sure Nvidia supports that kernel. So, I went to the Nvidia site and did a search by model number. This is the output of lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GTX 650] (rev a1) So, I did the manual thing, since this is Linux not windoze, and selected the series and model. According to the list it provided, I should be using the drivers in the 440 slot. I'm currently using the 390 slot since when I installed that card, that is what it showed. I'm almost 100% certain I checked this when installing this card. My question is, is it normal for nvidia to change the series of drivers for cards like this? Am I reading this wrong? Link to Nvidia site. https://www.geforce.com/drivers I couldn't provide a link to the selected part since it doesn't seem to provide one, java stuff I guess. Next link I went too. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/159360/ According to that the 440 series supports the 5.6 series of kernel. It doesn't indicate a specific version tho. Does that mean I can go to the very latest version or do I need to look elsewhere to see what is supported? If it matters, I use gentoo-sources. Currently on 4.19.40 and I'm showing gentoo-sources-5.6.7 as the latest available in the tree. Since I don't upgrade kernels much, may as well take a large leap. ;-) Thanks much. A little confused. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Got my garden about half disced. Dry side about ready to plant and wet side is lightly disced to help it dry out. :-D
