Hi Dale, |
48 |
|
49 |
I am now running kernel 5.6.9 (vanilla) and nvidia-driver 440.82-r3. |
50 |
|
51 |
Again, Blender cannot find the Optix related parts of the driver. |
52 |
This package still does not work for me. As far as I can see, |
53 |
the non-Optix specific things are fine, though. |
54 |
|
55 |
So I will reboot, remove the portage package of the driver and |
56 |
install the original by nvidia and this will fix the issue |
57 |
with Optix... |
58 |
|
59 |
Cheers! |
