Nvidia-440 package is allowing nouveau driver to load

That probably happened due to a bug in the earlier package which did install the server kernel, the new package was specifically to fix that. And I had forgotten that but now anyone that was using this software probably also has and is using the server kernel.

Well what this post states about cuda has not changed that I know of, if it has changed @Colin will let us know . If you want cuda you will probably need to download and install nvidia drivers from the nvidia site.

The official support OpenMandriva has includes nouveau only for nvidia hardware. That won’t change until OpenMandriva gets a developer or package maintainer that wants to deal with the nVidia stuff. We can not make any current volunteer, umpaid developer work on something they don’t want to work on. And they will be happy to explain why the won’t do this @ #openmandriva-cooker on Freenode IRC. If anyone out there wants to volunteer for this we would love to have you. (If you do introduce yourself @ #openmandriva-cooker.)

The packages we do have are because @Colin as a contributor/developer makes the effort to do this. But he does not really have time to keep these up to date. Keeping just the two he has built up to date is a time consuming and frustrating endeavor. Post-edit: And I’m told mind-numbing is a better description, along with some words I’m not supposed to use here.

Also worthy of mentioning, the answers I’m giving are not what I want to be saying, they reflect things as they are. Believe me there has been plenty of discussion about exactly these issues among the contributors.

And I hope the was a productive post somehow,.
