Hi,

I was suggested a while back to use the 550xx branch of driver as the current driver I think it could have been 570 or 580 version kept kernel panicking my machine.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107GLM [RTX A2000 8GB Laptop GPU] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device 22f8
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
	Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

I see that there's a 590 branch out.

Has anyone got any good results with this?

I found I needed to rebuild my machine every few days after kernel panic and the system would somehow send many library files situated in /lib to Lost+Found/

I'm trying to run Davinci Resolve Studio - downloaded from BlackMagick website and not AUR and so far managed to get it to the point where at least it will launch by downgrading OpenCL.

This isn't a Resolve posting so no need to move to AUR section but all I'm trying to find out is, will the newer 590 branch work with my system stably and does it have working CUDA?

That card appears to be from the ampere family and uses a GA 107 / NV 177 chipset .

is this a laptop ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Yes! It's a Lenovo P1 Gen 5

so far I have installed the 590xx or "Open" branch and the system seems to be stable. DaVinci Resolve works again which is good news, I haven't tested with other things like Steam and my drone sims but for now at least I have a GUI at correct resolution.

There is a forum post from a user with a laptop with rtx 3070 (also ampere) where the nvidia firmware had to be disabled (only possible with proprietary driver) .

I haven't been able to find other problem reports.

Hi, I came across your post about the RTX A2000 8GB on your ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 — I have the exact same machine and GPU (subsystem 17AA:22F8) but my GPU's VBIOS is corrupted (Code 43, BIOS Unknown in GPU-Z, 0MB VRAM reported). Since your card is working, would you be willing to dump your VBIOS and share it?

On Linux it's one command:
sudo nvflash --save my_vbios.rom
(Linux NVFlash binary: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash/)

It would genuinely save my laptop. Happy to share more details if useful. Thanks for considering it!

Standby... I am currently trying to install nvflash once it's done I'll let you know ;-)
