 jonringer | oh, I mistyped | 23:23:23 |
| jonringer | * you probably want. services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidiaLegacy390" ]; | 23:23:30 |
 Natan Lao | ah yeah, no dice unfortunately | 23:23:54 |
| Natan Lao | error: Selecting an nvidia driver has been modified for NixOS 19.03. The version is now set using hardware.nvidia.package. | 23:23:56 |
| Natan Lao | * error: Selecting an nvidia driver has been modified for NixOS 19.03. The version is now set using `hardware.nvidia.package`. | 23:24:01 |
 hexa | and setting that doesn't work? | 23:24:22 |
| Natan Lao | unfortunately not; i do get the nouveau drivers but not the unfree drivers | 23:24:43 |
| hexa | hardware.nvidia.package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.legacy390; | 23:25:11 |
| Natan Lao | I have that line exactly except s/legacy390/legacy_390 | 23:25:40 |
| jonringer | I think you also need services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidiaLegacy390" ]; | 23:25:56 |
 ahdyt | I use offloading for legacy390 vga and works great | 23:26:01 |
| jonringer | otherwise you would get the default list, which has the nouveau | 23:26:09 |
| ahdyt | In reply to @jonringer:matrix.org
I think you also need services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidiaLegacy390" ]; No | 23:26:13 |
| jonringer | * I think you also need services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ]; | 23:26:33 |
| ahdyt | If you set nvidialegacy390 the compiler will yell that you have to set it at hardware.nvidia.packafe | 23:26:42 |
| jonringer | sorry, I mean to just have "nvidia" | 23:26:42 |
| ahdyt | * If you set nvidialegacy390 the compiler will yell that you have to set it at hardware.nvidia.packGe | 23:26:49 |
| ahdyt | Yeah that's right | 23:26:53 |
| ahdyt | * If you set nvidialegacy390 the compiler will yell that you have to set it at hardware.nvidia.package | 23:26:58 |
| jonringer | * sorry, I meant to just have "nvidia" | 23:27:04 |
