Thanks for your work on this.
Can we assume they are in nonfree/updates_testing?
Assuming 'yes', assigning to QA.

I'm not seeing the dkms packages for this version (570.172.08-2.mga9).
Is this correct?

No thanks for spotting the dkms package is there (e.g.:

https://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/media/nonfree/updates_testing/dkms-nvidia-current-570.172.08-2.mga9.nonfree.x86_64.rpm

I just missed to add dkms-nvidia-current-570.172.08-2.mga9.nonfree.x86_64.rpm to the list.
Comment 6 Ezequiel Partida 2025-07-22 07:03:22 CEST
I tested this driver and it works great.

With Kernel 6.14 works beautiful

With Kernel 6.15 and 6.16 rc6 it fails


I only get continues text with the mesage:

NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00:0 Is already bound to NoveCore


I wonder if nvidia-newfeature works with my RTX 2060

Regards

Comment 8 PC LX 2025-07-22 17:41:16 CEST
Installed and tested without issue.

Tested for about four hours of laptop usage.
Tested:
- Plasma DE effects;
- glxgears (OpenGL);
- vkcube (Vulkan);
- glmark2;
- Firefox plus WegGL examples;
All ok. No functionality issues.

There was a glmark2 score drop of about a 3% percent, compared to the previous version, but that is probably due to the high ambient temperature. Will retest later in a cooler environment.



System: Mageia 9, x96_64, Plasma DE, Xorg, Intel Core i7-8750H, Quadro P600 Mobile using proprietary driver.

MGA9-64 Plasma. Before beginning this test, the nvidia-newfeature driver from Bug 34475 was installed.

Used QA repo to download the packages under test, then used drakx11 from MCC to switch from newfeature to current. I then used MCC to install the nvidia-current-cuda-opencl package, and rebooted into an x11 session.

Everything looks good - Firefox, vlc, Google Earth Pro. Logged into Wayland and it mostly OK, but with the now typical jerkines and artifacts that seem to plague Plasma-Wayland in Mageia 9 with the nvidia drivers. Not a new regression, so OK here.

Comment 10 Thomas Andrews 2025-07-25 17:44:53 CEST
Updated my production install on the hardware from comment 9 using drakrpm-update rather than drakx11. No installation issues. Rebooted, used it for a half hour or so, with no issues.
Comment 11 Thomas Andrews 2025-07-25 17:52:34 CEST
I think this one can go on out. Validating.
