 Atemu | And I don't think we can change the system attr on a per-output basis | 20:29:06 |
 K900 | There's a kernel module involved that's definitely native bitness only | 20:29:08 |
| K900 | We can't | 20:29:12 |
| K900 | Well in theory we can | 20:29:20 |
| K900 | With cursed shit | 20:29:25 |
| K900 | But I don't want to do cursed shit to avoid other cursed shit | 20:29:33 |
| K900 | And I definitely don't want to touch Nvidia stuff with no hardware to test it on | 20:30:58 |
| Atemu | I think what we want is either a special attr in the 64bit drv that houses the 32bit output or a "cross-compiled" package from 64 to 32bit in pkgsi686Linux | 20:31:03 |
| K900 | And no desire to acquire further cursed knowledge | 20:31:13 |

I think what we want is either a special attr in the 64bit drv that houses the 32bit output or a "cross-compiled" package from 64 to 32bit in pkgsi686Linux The special attr is effectively what's happening since it's an output | 20:31:26 |
| K900 | But that means we have to special case it somehow | 20:31:34 |
| K900 | In hardware.graphics | 20:31:40 |
| K900 | And I don't want to | 20:31:42 |
| K900 | I think the actually correct way is to do what Arch does | 20:32:17 |
| K900 | And just have separate packages | 20:32:27 |
| K900 | For the kernel bits and the userspace bits | 20:32:33 |
| Atemu | Isn't that what we have too? | 20:32:55 |
| Atemu | We have kernelPackages.nvidia and the nvidia packgae | 20:33:06 |
| K900 | It's the same package with multiple outputs | 20:33:07 |
| K900 | And I just realized it's not going to work anyway | 20:33:13 |
| K900 | Because the kernel module needs to exactly-match the userspace | 20:33:21 |
| K900 | So we're back to pulling config.hardware.nvidia.package | 20:33:32 |
| K900 | And that's obviously not arch specific | 20:33:39 |
| Atemu | I think we won't get around special-casing proprietary drivers that have a 32bit attr | 20:34:06 |
| Atemu | Best we can do is standardise this attr | 20:34:22 |
| K900 | No | 20:34:31 |
| K900 | I just had the horriblest ideaest | 20:34:37 |
| K900 | hardware.graphics.extraPackages = pkgs: if pkgs.stdenv.is64bit then [ config.hardware.nvidia.package ] else [ config.hardware.nvidia.package.lib32 ] | 20:35:04 |
| K900 | That doesn't solve the "how do we know if this package is 32-bit" issue though | 20:36:14 |
| Atemu | Oh neat idea we could make drivers have a drivers output/attr (that was in my original design anyways) and then make the nvidia package expose that attr in this way | 20:36:25 |
