Hereinafter I try to push some questions about we can enhancement gpu
detection on ISO images.
Currently, gpu-configuration script follow this steps:
* retrieve gpu cards id
* for every id try to identify producer
* for nvidia producer:
- if card is legacy (driver 390) try to load legacy driver
- for new cards or not legacy cards (defined in list) try to load
last nvidia drivers (optional could be forced legacy option.. not yet
on last iso build but available on gpu-configuration)
- for nouveau driver currently it is needed at boot add
noproprietary option (not so easy for users)
* for radeon driver:
- with last changes (i removed deprecated fglrx code) and now it is
used xorg driver
Open questions:
1) Do we want use nouveau as default or not ?
2) For legacy gpu cards for start nouveau by default (without need of
user operations) we need to create a map of all legacy video cards. How
we want do that ? Do we want create a tool for permit at users to send
feedback about video cards and driver used ?
3) is there a tool from others distro that could be integrate in
sabayon for help users on configure and tuning video cards ?
How we want move ?
