¶ Known Issues and workarounds
¶ NVIDIA Graphics Cards
This release includes the reverse engineered nouveau driver, which gives moderately good
support for most NVIDIA cards. For some dual-screen work it is actually better than
NVIDIA binary driver as it supports screen rotation on a second monitor useful for
monitors with rotatable screens.
Users may use drivers from nvidia web site but they are not supported by OpenMandriva.
These can not be supported by OpenMandriva for a number of reasons.
Installing and maintaining any proprietary nVidia drivers is solely the users option and
responsibility.
There are community supported nvidia drivers available in non-free repository.
¶ NVME SSDs
There is a well known problem with some (especially newer) NVME SSDs and PCIE devices
where the SSD may not be recognized.
Problem is known and being worked on by OpenMandriva developers and upstream
developers.
