Important note for packagers: |
|
|
In 3.2 release, we have extended our nvidia-specific udev rule file to add |
|
|
device files (/dev/nvidia*) when the module is loaded (previously it would only |
|
|
remove those files when the module is unloaded). Consequently, we also changed |
|
|
its name. Some distributions, for example Gentoo, do not need to install this |
|
|
rule file because they already have a similar mechanism in place. Please also |
|
|
note that the rule file sets file permissions to 0666; you may want to adjust it |
|
|
to set permissions/owner/group more strictly according to your distribution's |
|
|
practice before installing. If you already use the kernel module options to |
|
|
declare permissions, simply running nvidia-smi on module load will do the job. |

Important notes for packagers: |
|
|
- In 3.2.1 release, we removed the bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/busid.conf file, |
|
|
because it was avoiding X to start in cases widely common. If your packaging |
|
|
system does not automatically remove it on upgrade to 3.2.1, then you will |
|
|
still have a broken optirun. You either need to remove this file on package |
|
|
upgrade or tell your distro users to do so, depending on your distro policy. |
