Create an Ubuntu PPA for nvidiabl

[alex-mayorga]

Is it possible to create an Ubuntu PPA for nvidiabl for easier install?

Hello,

There is already one in the download section, you mean that it doesn't work ?

Guillaume,

My apologies, I missed that. But I was thinking of maybe an Ubuntu PPA or put it into Debian itself. I tried nvidiabl-dkms_0.69_all.deb on a Sony Corporation VPCCW1FFXL but only the last 3 steps of Fn key presses seem to have an effect.

alex-mayorga@VPCCW1FFXL:~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor Sony Corporation alex-mayorga@VPCCW1FFXL:~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name VPCCW1FFX

Hi,

Please give me the output of "dmesg | grep nvidiabl".

Guillaume,

Below find the requested output.

Thanks and regards,

Alex

You should try to do that:

sudo modprobe -r nvidiabl sudo modprobe nvidiabl max=1024

with various value as max (try 100, 1000, 10000, etc, and when you're satisfied, try more precise values). Then tell me the correct value and the output of

dmesg | grep nvidiabl

This way I will integrate the value you found as default on next version.

Hello,

Please try the 0.70 version.

I tried 0.72 but encountered https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl/issues/27

I believe this issue would become irrelevant if https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl/issues/8 is implemented so feel free to close this if you plan to contribute your excellent driver to nouveau.
