Hi, I know Nvidia still supports it,? their helpdesk person told me.? I don't know what optimus is,? but I have 2 M6800 laptops and a M6700? SI'll see if I can find that. Someone else told me that? that RHEL/Centos 8 just has a lot less drivers included (I don't know if that is true though) On 4/30/21 11:53 PM, Anthony K wrote:> On 29/4/21 11:55 pm, R C wrote: >> ... >> I was able to build/compile the drivers with >> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.73.01.run on 4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64, it >> gave me a warning about pkcfg, but no other warnings/errors and seem >> to install, however, after booting it still didn't use that driver, >> but the nouveau one >> ... > > Not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison as I'm on Ubuntu, but just > to show that Nvidia still supports this card (I'm on the same laptop - > m6700 - though lower powered GPU).
