Note that the BLFS editors have not tested that hardware. User Notes: Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary: Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> <*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 ... support) ---> [CONFIG_DRM] <*> Nouveau (NVIDIA) cards [CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU] [*] Support for backlight control [CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT] xorg-nouveau-driver Install Xorg Nouveau Driver by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install Glamor is an acceleration library which uses cards' 3D capabilities to accelerate 2D rendering. Glamor acceleration is enabled by default for the new Maxwell GPU's. According to the documentation, Glamor acceleration can be used with other chips as well, but that does not seem functional yet. If you want anyway to try to enable Glamor for GPU's other than the new Maxwell ones, create the following file as the root user: cat >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf << "EOF" Section "Device" Identifier "nvidia" Driver "nouveau" Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" EndSection EOF Installed Xorg Driver nouveau_drv.so Short Descriptions nouveau_drv.so is an Xorg video driver for nVidia video cards. nouveau_drv.so
