@ -76,6 +76,13 @@ The NVIDIA open kernel modules support the same range of Linux kernel
versions that are supported with the proprietary NVIDIA kernel modules.
This is currently Linux kernel 3.10 or newer.
On some Linux distributions, `nvidia-driver-*-open` does not work by default
after installation. If so, the `NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus` kernel
parameter may need to be enabled first. Here is a sample command to enable it:
```
echo "options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-driver-open.conf
```
