This page is about driver information for NVIDIA graphic cards. Currently Nouveau, the open-source driver for NVIDIA GPUs is supported as the proprietary NVIDIA driver is not available for Musl C library used in Alpine Linux.
Nouveau
Nouveau is an open-source driver for NVIDIA GPUs.
Wayland
Install the following packages as needed:
- mesa-dri-gallium: necessary Mesa drivers.
- mesa-va-gallium: VA-API drivers, for hardware accelerated video encoding and decoding
If driver auto-selection does not work, e.g. no mouse cursor under Sway, manual driver selection might be needed:
export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=nouveau
For VA-API:
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nouveau
