Olares with Nvidia Quadro M2200

[shaydz93]

I had the gpu working no issues, but ever since the update, I cant get my gpu to show up or work. Ive tried installing the drivers and everything.

We’re running Olares OS on hardware with an Nvidia Quadro M2200 (GM206GLM).
lspci shows the GPU, but nvidia-smi reports no driver and the GPU does not appear under Settings → GPU. The root filesystem is read‑only and apt install nvidia-driver-* is not available.
Is there a GPU‑enabled Olares image or documented process to install a compatible Nvidia driver (e.g., 580) for this GPU, or is the M2200 unsupported?

We do have a GPU-enabled Olares OS image, i.e., with the nvidia driver preinstalled.

Install Olares via ISO

However, Olares has a hard requirement on the CUDA version, and even older versions of nvidia driver also does not support Quadro M2200's Maxwell architecture:

Chapter 44. Open Linux Kernel Modules

The open flavor of kernel modules supports Turing and later GPUs. The open kernel modules cannot support GPUs before Turing, because the open kernel modules depend on the GPU System Processor (GSP) first introduced in Turing.

We are sorry for the incompatibility, and will consider make Olares more compatible, letting users choose a custom CUDA version in the future.
