nvidia gtx 950 is a good card it needs a pci-e 16x 3.0 slot

Two more cards have been added to test suite:

GeForce GTX 650
GeForce GTX 950

This now completes the suite - it coveres all card families I was to support in this refreshed driver.

Ok, got it. The driver you are testing has some timing issues - it might be that what you are observing that it works on some cards and not on others. I'm working right now on a more stable stable, should be available soon for testing.

I did a fresh install to an ssd (much quicker when testing lots of cards).

The flashing cursor always happens, but only for a few seconds with working cards.
The others mostly just never move beyond that apart from 2 (cant recall which off the top of my head sorry), and they turned the display off around the time the working cards would show Wanderer.
The machine I used was just picked at random from a box (s775/c2d e8500), so I dont know if there's any issues with it running AROS, but given it had no other problems I'm guessing its fine.
I can test on another mobo+cpu if you'd like?
Have more cards to test still anyway

@Korban

Thanks for the tests!

What are you booting? A CDROM or a pendrive?
When does the blinking cursor occur? After you select option in grub?

Blinking cursor generally suggests some early stage issue with booting, not an issue with video card.

Tested, but not working (black screen with white cursor blinking in top left corner of screen):

8600GT
8800gt
9800Gtx
460gtx
570gtx
640gt
660gtx
670gtx
680gtx
760gtx
770gtx
780gtx
960gtx
970gtx

Tested and working:

9500gt
9600gt
440gt
580gtx
630gt
750gtx
750ti

Geforce 9500 GT works nice as seems giving nice resolutions

Hi,

Thanks, I know it is someway off but was curious. Seems someone is a Transformers fan possibly at Nvidia during the 2010s.

@Jeff1138

I don't know how it will work yet. Right now I'm focusing on desktops only. One thing I know is that there was some "prime" code I had to remove because it was GPL. I assume "prime" might have something to do with "Optimus"

In that case it'd make most sense to wait until I get the driver working on my laptop and then see if it improves your cases.

Hi,

Can I ask if nouveau supports/or finds Nvidia graphics if a laptop has combined Intel HD gfx or just nvidia only like the desktop?
Optimus support via linux bubblebee type but already integrated into nouveau. As it was always an issue in the past?

I can land my unused GTX1660 Super is needed to add the support

I’m having the same issue with the HP ENVY 15-k112nl, which has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M
This PC will only boot from a USB 2.0 flash drive; the USB 3.0 flash drive doesn’t appear in the boot menu (I’ve tried more than one)

Well in that case not much can be done. I have one laptop with GeForce card but it is of newer generation. Maybe making the driver work on that laptop will also fix the issue for you. We need to wait and see.

I’d already followed your instructions, but nothing has changed: after Grub, the text appears and then the screen goes black

Ok, then take the ISO from first post and:

1) Remove DEVS:Monitors: IntelGMA, IntelGMA.info, VMWare, VMWare.info
2) Boot with 'noacpi' but without 'nomonitors'

And tell me what happens.

The ACER Aspire 5920 only works if I use ‘nomonitors noacpi’; even if I use VESA, I get a black screen after GRUB. This has always happened, even with standard builds.

I’ve also tried using just ‘noacpi’, but nothing changes – AROS won’t boot.

If you added "nomonitors" option then you disabled loading the nvidia driver. Why was this option needed?

Sorry for the delay, I’ve only just got home.
The ACER Aspire 5920 doesn’t have any USB 3.0 ports, so I burned the ISO image from the first message in USB 2.0 mode and it boots from the first and third menu options, but I had to add “nomonitors noacpi” to the grub.cfg file.
The resolution is VESA only, although it seemed better to me!

It's possible that laptop video connectors have the same issues as HDMI right now.

Does the ISO in first post of this thread boot to native mode on your laptop?
