Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms (470.256.02-2) [non-free]

[ Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers  ]

NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS source

This package builds the NVIDIA binary kernel modules needed by nvidia-driver, using DKMS. Provided that you have the kernel header packages installed, the kernel module will be built for your running kernel and automatically rebuilt for any new kernel headers that are installed.

The NVIDIA binary driver provides optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES applications via a direct-rendering X Server for graphics cards using NVIDIA chip sets.

This version only supports GeForce, NVS, Quadro, RTX, Tesla, ... GPUs based on the Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing, Ampere, or newer architectures. The (Tesla) 470 drivers are the last driver series supporting GPUs based on the Kepler architecture. Look at the legacy driver packages for older cards.

See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-dkms/README.txt.gz for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.

Building the kernel modules has been tested up to Linux 6.8.
