Summary
The wiki had no dedicated NVIDIA page — NVIDIA was only mentioned inside
features/kernel.mdx,features/chwd/chwd.mdx,configuration/dual_gpu.mdxandconfiguration/post_install_setup.mdx. This PR adds a dedicatedconfiguration/nvidia.mdxpage documenting a known-good nvidia-open + Wayland (Hyprland) setup.What the page covers
nvidia-openvsnvidia: what the open kernel modules are, GPU support (Turing+), and the GSP firmware requirement (theNVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0option is ignored with open modules).chwdor the CachyOS precompiled module packages (linux-cachyos-nvidia-open,linux-cachyos-lts-nvidia-open, ...).nvidia_drm.modeset=1andfbdev=1, plus early modesetting through/etc/mkinitcpio.confMODULESandmkinitcpio -P.NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02(power management for RTX 30 series) and the GSP firmware caveat.NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1and the distinction between thenvidia-suspend/nvidia-hibernate/nvidia-resumesystemd services andNVreg_UseKernelSuspendNotifiers=1(kernel-level notifiers, requires early module load in the initramfs, mutually exclusive with the services).LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME,GBM_BACKEND,__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAMEenvironment variables, plus hardware cursor notes.Verification
The content is based on a verified working setup: RTX 3060, nvidia-open 610.57.04, kernel 7.1.8-1-cachyos. The wiki builds successfully (
bun run build), and the new page + sidebar entry are generated correctly.Note on navigation
The Configuration sidebar in
astro.config.mjsis an explicit list (not auto-discovered), so a minimal entry for the new page was added there. No other files were modified.
