So you
're using nouveau with nvk
K
Kamquat
•
7/6/24, 4:51 PM
So it
's probably using Nouveau in desktop
. You should just be able to rebase

Not in any simple way at least
(you could probably do insanity with VFIO

7/6/24, 4:54 PM
Nvidia
's proprietary drivers do not support game mode
, they
've had years to fix this
K
Kyle Gospo

7/6/24, 4:54 PM
Unfortunately it
's on them
K
Kyle Gospo
•
7/6/24, 4:54 PM
Nothing we can do
K
Kamquat
•
7/6/24, 4:54 PM
Nvidia often has issues on Linux
, because only Nvidia can do anything to fix problems
.
K
Kamquat

7/6/24, 4:54 PM
and they don
't
.

7/6/24, 4:55 PM

7/6/24, 4:55 PM
Yes
. Nvidia would work on a desktop image
, but you
'd lose game mode
.
K
Kamquat
•
7/6/24, 4:55 PM
and on a handheld you probably don
't want that
.
K
Kamquat
Yes. Nvidia would work on a desktop image, but you'd lose game mode.

7/6/24, 4:56 PM

7/6/24, 4:56 PM
in Handled it doesnt matter because I never play on Handled with oculink
K
Kyle Gospo
•
7/6/24, 4:57 PM
So you won
't have any game mode at all
, and the input on your handheld won
't work properly
K
Kamquat
•
7/6/24, 4:57 PM
No
, there
's two sets of images
. One for desktop and one for handheld
( bazzite
-deck images
)

Kamquat

7/6/24, 4:57 PM
what Kyle said yea
K
Kyle Gospo

7/6/24, 4:57 PM
It
's not worth rebasing for the docked GPU
L
Lulufcm
OP
•
7/6/24, 4:57 PM
ok
K
Kamquat
•
7/6/24, 4:57 PM
you
'd basically have to leave it docked all the time and use a BT controller
. Not worth
.

OP
•
7/6/24, 4:57 PM
So any solution
L
Lulufcm
So any solution 😦
K
Kyle Gospo
•
7/6/24, 4:57 PM
You would have to make a custom bazzite image
, or use a different distro
K
Kyle Gospo
•
7/6/24, 4:58 PM
I
'm sorry
, we just do not support your use case
K
Kamquat
•
7/6/24, 4:58 PM
or sell Nvidia GPU
, buy Radeon 7900xt
.
K
Kyle Gospo
•
7/6/24, 4:58 PM
Yeah that works too

Thank you
. This fix no longer works since they moved away from Lua scripts
, but this helped me realize the issue
.
Future reference this is what allowed me to solve the issue
