Howdy, |

I mentioned in another thread that I was going to upgrade to a much |
| 4 |
newer kernel. I also have to make sure Nvidia supports that kernel. |
| 5 |
So, I went to the Nvidia site and did a search by model number. This is |
| 6 |
the output of lspci: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GTX |
| 10 |
650] (rev a1) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
So, I did the manual thing, since this is Linux not windoze, and |
| 14 |
selected the series and model. According to the list it provided, I |
| 15 |
should be using the drivers in the 440 slot. I'm currently using the |
| 16 |
390 slot since when I installed that card, that is what it showed. I'm |
| 17 |
almost 100% certain I checked this when installing this card. My |
| 18 |
question is, is it normal for nvidia to change the series of drivers for |
| 19 |
cards like this? Am I reading this wrong? Link to Nvidia site. |

I couldn't provide a link to the selected part since it doesn't seem to |
| 24 |
provide one, java stuff I guess. Next link I went too. |

According to that the 440 series supports the 5.6 series of kernel. It |
| 29 |
doesn't indicate a specific version tho. Does that mean I can go to the |
| 30 |
very latest version or do I need to look elsewhere to see what is |
| 31 |
supported? If it matters, I use gentoo-sources. Currently on 4.19.40 |
| 32 |
and I'm showing gentoo-sources-5.6.7 as the latest available in the |
| 33 |
tree. Since I don't upgrade kernels much, may as well take a large |
| 34 |
leap. ;-) |

Thanks much. A little confused. |
