Nvidia driver installation

I installed the nvdia driver in dom0. Now how do I run games?

first, there will no 3d acceleration outside dom0, so playing game is not a good idea
also you shouldn’t run anything in dom0
anyway, if accept the risk, what game you what to play

Are there any way of checking hash or signature of NVIDIA drivers?

Why do you add rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau and disable it in 11? If you install the driver, you want to use it, but now you diable it.

nouveau is the open-source driver, you need to disable it to be able to use the driver from nvidia

Are there two drivers for Nvidia cards? One is nouveau and the other is from Nividia website like NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.67.run?

nouveau is a free and open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards

Yes, it’s two different drivers.

Have error for 5.10.90 kernel. I didn’t install 5.9.14 kernel you mentioned because I think 5.10 is greater than it.
This command succeeded qubes-dom0-update gcc kmod grub2-tools perl-bignum make

$ sudo make module IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=y CC="gcc -DNV_VMAP_4_PRESENT -DNV_SIGNAL_STRUCT_RLIM"
make: *** No rule to make target 'module'.  Stop.

But isn’t a bad idea to build software on Dom0?
(Genuine question, I have 0 idea about it and I’m also having trouble with drivers.)

Best regards,

I installed my Nvidia drivers (I think) I used NVIDIA_Linux_x86_64-515.57.run . It installed perfectly with no errors, it asked me to modify the xorg. I selected yes. No errors at all…

but… Step 6 doesn’t work for me

Hi, at point 6 I got an error.

[user@dom0 kernel]$ sudo make module IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=y CC="gcc -DNV_VMAP_4_PRESENT -DNV_SIGNAL_STRUCT_RLIM"
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.3.9-1.qubes.fc32.x86_64/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:80: modules] Error 2

then I checked

I know this is a slightly older thread, so hope I can ask for some help.
Relatively new Qubes user & am having bad jerky video playback if viewing youtube or even gifs in “personal” qube.

Can someone please advise on how to get Nvidia working?
