Nouveau

Nouveau is an open-source driver for NVIDIA GPUs.

Wayland

Install the following packages as needed:

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

Proprietary Driver

As of December 2022 the proprietary NVIDIA driver does not support the musl libc.
