 |
|
Hi!
I used to game on windows and now I'm trying to move to gentoo for my gaming stuff (not my first linux distro). But my FPS is terrible.
I kept looking up reasons for this and yesterday I realized that x doesn't list my GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 mobile) as a provider.
xrandr --listproviders
| Code: |
gaming-rig /home/ana # xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x44 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 3 outputs: 3 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
|
I've installed the proprietary x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers with the USE="dist-kernel" flag since im using the 6.9.6 gentoo distribution kernel
eselect kernel list
| Code: |
gaming-rig /home/ana # eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-6.9.6-gentoo-dist *
|
Nvidia modules seem to be loaded:
lsmod | grep nvidia
| Code: |
gaming-rig /home/ana # lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_uvm 5754880 0
nvidia_drm 114688 0
nvidia_modeset 1552384 1 nvidia_drm
nvidia 59772928 2 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset
video 69632 2 i915,nvidia_modeset
|
And if I run "nvtop"/"nvidia-smi" the GPU is shown although its not doing much of anything.
How can i get X to use my GPU?

| I fixed the issue, I wasn't in the "video" group. |
