This is to avoid pulling in the Nvidia drivers instead of the Mesa libraries or in place of the new open source OpenCL support that’s in Fedora. RPM pulls in all correct requirements on its own.

All RPM filters except for GL and OpenCL libraries have been removed, so there is no weird dependency option in the SPEC file.

nvidia-settings, nvidia-persistenced, nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-modprobe are compiled from source.

What follows below, is a detailed explanation of all the “differences” from the various Nvidia driver packages that I was able to spot on the web and a detailed description on how to install components, etc. This packages try to comply as maximum to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines which means they have debuginfo packages, default Fedora’s GCC compile time options (where possible) and standard locations for binaries, data and docs. What’s different?įirst of all the packaging is a lot simplified more stuff is compiled from source, smaller packages and more options. Otherwise, only the other Nvidia programs (mostly for CUDA development) will show up in the software center. Please note that the driver will show up only if your system matches one of the PCI ID supported by the driver. Starting from Fedora 25, the Nvidia software packages are available for installation by default also in Gnome Software. To install the repository on CentOS/RHEL: yum-config-manager -add-repo=

To install the repository on a supported Fedora distribution, run as root the following command: dnf config-manager -add-repo=

Option with only CUDA components installed.
