We can only speculate whether or not they always had the rights to the code, but chances are that some of their codebase is tied behind clauses in agreements with third party companies.

This is a neat little excuse that someone like NVIDIA no longer gets to hang on, because they are literally made of money and work predominantly with server farms these days.

But yeah, onwards towards open source we go.

💻 FreeBSD CUDA drm-61-kmod 💻

"Just going to test the current pkg driver, this will only take a second...", the old refrain goes. Surely, it will not punt away an hour or so of messing about in loader.conf on this EPYC system...

- Here are some notes to back-track a botched/crashing driver kernel panic situation.
- Standard stuff, nothing new over the years here with loader prompt.
- A few directives are specific to this system, though may provide a useful general reference.
- The server has an integrated GPU in addition to nvidia pcie, so a module blacklist for the "amdgpu" driver is necessary (EPYC 4564P).

Step 1: during boot-up, "exit to loader prompt"
Step 2: set/unset the values as needed at the loader prompt

unset nvidia_load
unset nvidia_modeset_load
unset hw.nvidiadrm.modeset
set module_blacklist=amdgpu,nvidia,nvidia_modeset
set machdep.hyperthreading_intr_allowed=0
set verbose_loading=YES
set boot_verbose=YES
set acpi_dsdt_load=YES
set audit_event_load=YES
kern.consmsgbuf_size=1048576
set loader_menu_title=waffenschwester
boot

Step 3: login to standard tty shell
Step 4: edit /boot/loader.conf (and maybe .local)
Step 5: edit /etc/rc.conf (and maybe .local)
Step 6: debug the vast output from kern.consmsgbuf logs

libUnderseaMonkey.so 🇪🇺

I rarely use my personal laptop at my desk, I use it on my lap in front of the TV unless I have a specific need for external displays. Last night, I went to use it at my desk.
Hardware: The same USB-C dongle, two ultrawide and single FHD monitors as ever.
Software: Fully updated @opensuse #Tumbleweed with #NVIDIA drivers.

This all "just worked" last time I used it. Now, I can only use enable one ultrawide at a time.

I shall dig into logs later.

OC Scanner ist durch. Die Taktrate der GPU hat der Scanner beinah unangetestet gelassen.

Aber er hat 400MHz auf die Taktung des GDDR7 Speichers draufgehauen.
Ich schätze ich lass das so.
Eventuell läuft auf meinem Gaming PC mal ein Spiel, was von dem erhöhten VRAM Takt profitiert.
Nach dem Motto "was man hat, hat man"🙂

Ich muss Thermaltake's ToughPower Serie wirklich loben😃

Ich habe meine 5090 mal mithilfe von Silent Hill 2 Remake auf 550+ getrieben um das 600W Kabel von TT einem Stresstest zu unterziehen.

Das Kabel wurde natürlich etwas warm, aber nicht heiß.

Fiepen tut meine Karte übrigens weiterhin nicht.

The big news here being that #NVIDIA is continuing open sourcing their stack. Now #PhysX seems to be fully - if not mostly - #OpenSource, under the #MIT license no less.

The thing here is NVIDIA realizing that their biggest clients are server farms and compute operations, who famously want control over their own #software - which is why #Linux became the standard.
