Nvidia NVS 310 no output then bad output

Issues & Assistance Newbies
1

Good work devs, recently installed and Garuda it's great so far.
I'm trying to install an NVS 310 alongside my RX580 so that I can pass through the RX580 to a windows vm. Until I booted with only the NVS 310 installed, it would have no output, but now I've booted with both and there is output, but the NVS 310 output is 'fuzzy' (it feels like the image is moving up and down many times per second by a few pixels and the image fades to black in bottom few pixels). Another unexpected consequence was that now I have a KDE boot screen after signing in and that my cursor reset to the default one and now behaves strangely - on the NVS 310 monitor it's the cursor I chose in settings and on the Rx580 it's the default one, apart from when hovering over the dock, when it switches back to the desired one.

Any help would be much appreciated :slight_smile:

Another difference - this no longer works:

Just want to have display out with linux while passing a gpu through to a vm

Oh ok you are trying to passthough the card?
what are you using as the hypervisor?

Passing through the rx580 to the vm, keeping the nvs 310 with linux to retain basic display out

8

Oh and qemu

9

So you wish to passthough the rx580 to a garuda vm?
Is this to test to see if you can do this?

No no im running garuda and i want to run windows, linux etc in vms with good graphics on top of garuda, but keep the ability to interact with garuda while the rx580 is passed through to vms.

11

This is not what garuda is intended for there are better ways to do what you are trying to do? :grinning:
proxmox
acp-ng
vmware

Might not be but that's not even relevant. Right now I can't get a gpu to work properly - haven't even got to the vm stuff (and I see no reason why garuda wouldn't be able to handle it)

13

you have alot to learn sorry :smiley:

This is a Fermi card and needs the 390xx driver if you want reasonable performance.

This seems like a backwards step - if you want to play games on the RX580 then just use Windows. If you want to use Garuda (and play games using Steam and Proton) then use the RX580 directly.
