Salient OS - nVidia Installation Scripts
Channel: Silent
Date: 2019-09-23

In this video I outline how to use the nvidia installation scripts included now in Salient OS. These scripts were developed by the Antergos team which I have now modified for use within Salient to ease the burden of installing the nVidia drivers.

It also means I only need to create one ISO now as these scripts will take care of the heavy lifting for you. Simply follow the steps below in order!

1. Perform a full system upgrade. In a terminal type:

pacupg

Reboot your system now!

2. Update the Driver ID Database

sudo nvidia-installer-update-db

3. Install the nVidia Drivers and Utilities

sudo nvidia-installer

Reboot your system now!

4. Configure the Drivers

sudo nvidia-settings

Under Advanced, Set forcefullcompositionpipeline on all monitors

Under Opengl Settings turn off Sync to Vblank and Allow Flipping

5. Save to X Configuration File

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Overwriting the existing config file. If you like you can remove the backup file.

Reboot your system now!
