Hello, I just got a Macbook Pro that has an Nvidia GeForce GT 650M and it works great with mageias nvidia 390.154 drivers but, some games in steam won´t work including native linux game Dota Underlords since Nvidia 390.154 seems no to have vulkan support. Checking on Nvidia, the last driver for linux that is compatible with this card is 418 wich is not compatible with mageia. Are there any plans to release it?... is it possible to install the one from nvidias site?.. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/153717/en-us/ Regards and thanks in advance for your help. ZekeMX
Thank you for the report Asking kernel and drivers maintainers If coming to Cauldron, possibly a backport to mga8 would also be valuable
CC: (none) => fri, kernel
Morgan, I also faced this problem. During the solution, I discovered that my gt630 (gf108) card, libu vulcan does not support. Just like a card based on the fermi chipset. If the card is on this chipset, then the volcano will not work with this card.
CC: (none) => 79625490833
give the output of this command glxinfo |grep OpenGL
Sorry, Not going to happend. the R418 branch is dead and buried upstream, last release is almost 3 years old
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => WONTFIX
Thomas, it's not that it's buried, but that the chipset may not support the volcano. Do at least some updating there.
No, the R418 *driver* _is_ dead and buried. It even officially only supports kernel 5.4 series, so even that is a no-go... It does not matter that the chipset could support it, as nVidia has decided to only support legacy chipsets with the R390 branch that does not support vulcan. and even that it fading away as the R390 support ends this year too: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142/~/support-timeframes-for-unix-legacy-gpu-releases so you wont even see the R390 driver in upcoming Mageia 9. The only thing users with legacy nVidia gpus now can hope for is that the recent public code and documentation releases nVidia did can help nouveau driver maintainers to improve the open source driver (if some of them actually have time/interest to work on them) but that is still somewhere in the future..
According Nvidia the Geforce GT 650M is supported with the legacy driver 470 series which is shipped with Mageia. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ Try to update your drivers from the 390 branch to the 470 branch.

I just requested that I output a command in order to cut off the unsupported library chipset.
@Nikolay, I am not sure what you mean by the last sentence. Cant you uninstall 390 and install 470? --- Maybe we should add some more hint to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_8_Release_Notes#Proprietary_NVIDIA_driver https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_8_Errata#Nvidia Such as "See at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ if your old GPU is supported by the 470 driver, and if so select that one." --- Maybe our installer/drakx11 autoselection of driver could be improved.
you don't understand me. My card only works r390. And the author of this problem asked for a conclusion to check whether there is support for the Vulcan library or not.

I would not exclude the r390 driver from mga9. As the kernel continues to support this driver. And many games require a proprietary driver instead of a free one. as I wrote earlier, I requested the output of the command from the author, as I encountered this defect and, accordingly, I thoroughly understood it.

Sorry Thomas, but at this point you are confusing something. I wrote explicitely nvidia 470 (which IS available in mga8 nvidia-current-470.141.03-1.mga8.nonfree.src.rpm) and NOT 417 which was never and never will be in Mageia.
(In reply to sturmvogel from comment #13) > ...and NOT 417 which was never and never will be in Mageia. replace 417 with 418
1. This report is against Cauldron. 2. I responded to Morgans comment where he wanted to add stuff to Mga8 release/errata notes... hence "do not confuse..."
You are right. This bug was filed against cauldron. My bad. But also in cauldron R470 is available so ZekeMX should try to switch to this branch and test if it works. Btw. to check if ZekeMX has the right chipset on his graphic card (which is mentioned here https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/), glxinfo |grep OpenGL is the completely wrong command as it tells nothing about device IDs. The correct command to query device IDs is "lspci -nn"
And as of ldetect-lst-0.6.40-1.mga9 nvidia470 driver will be suggested for all gpus that it supports.
(In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #17) > And as of ldetect-lst-0.6.40-1.mga9 nvidia470 driver will be suggested for > all gpus that it supports. Great. Is that also the case on mga8, or an update would be good ? ( And I dont think it is confusing to in same bug discuss same issue on more than one Mageia release. )
The idea is good, but you don't take me seriously. Although I have proven myself, the Russian fork has mandrives, but at the same time I want to contribute to your fork mandrives.

(In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #17) > And as of ldetect-lst-0.6.40-1.mga9 nvidia470 driver will be suggested for > all gpus that it supports. Hello, I really hope this will support my card, I did test it on MGA 9 and it game me errors, glxinfo | grep OpenGL on the other hand seams to report noveau while XFdrake did detected it as 635 and installed 470 drivers. In the mean time 4 of my friends with MacBook Pro will use MGA 8, 2 of them want to use their Macs for gaming also since many games they want are for linux and windows than for Mac, but the problem is that nvidia 390 won´t even run many steam linux games and in some cases windows games will with some versions of proton. I also tested PopOS on 2 of muy friends MacBook Pro since it looks similar co MacOS, Nvidia 470 worked fine but there where other problems that we decided to go back to Mageia, PopOS seems much slower than Mageia. I think it´s time that more uses get to know Mageia the way Mandriva was, most people that I know are seeing linux as good replacement for windows on Gaming and they are waiting for new drivers and better support from manufacturers. Great Day Amigos. ZekeMX
