The issue with nvidia's driver is that it doesn't play well with CSM |
| 12 |
enabled in the BIOS. If you have the option to disable CSM, then it |
| 13 |
should work. |

CSM is the "Compatibility Support Module" of UEFI. With it enabled, the |
| 16 |
graphics card is initialized by CSM, not by UEFI, and that it not fully |
| 17 |
supported by nvidia. If you use UEFI with the EFI console driver but |
| 18 |
still get this in dmesg: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console |
| 21 |
NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver |
| 22 |
NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console |
| 23 |
NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in |
| 24 |
NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
then the issue is that you have CSM enabled. Unfortunately, some |
| 27 |
mainboards do not provide an option to disable CSM. |
