Any chance you have or could advise on getting it working I cannot get my system to display on my second external monitor.

Nvidia Geforce Gt540M Cuda 2Gb Drivers Can Be

Open source drivers can be confirmed by using lsmod grep nouveau command.

But like I said in my previous guides, it doesnt give you 3D acceleration features or GPU acceleration based applications (such as CUDA and GPU pass through).

It is a binary-only Xorg driver requiring a Linux kernel module for its use.

Nvidia Geforce Gt540M Cuda 2Gb Update Your Kali

The first step is to fully update your Kali Linux system and make sure you have the kernel headers installed.

In case those who are not so familiar or not sure which guide to follow, ask yourself these questions.

Linux kali 3.18.0-kali1-amd64 1 SMP Debian 3.18.3-1kali4 (2015-01-22) x8664 GNULinux.

Ive just added one simple line here, rebooting your system.

Why.

But, until you reboot, your dont really boot in the new kernel (youre possibly still at kernel 3.14 or some sort).

This reboot saves you having the following errors.

I was able to get it running pretty easily during the initial release of kali once i figured out that you cant use nvidia as your.conf.

You just have to remember to type optirun before pyrit or hashcat to get it to work or youll just be using your cpu instead of your gpu as well.

Also to blackmoreops; Thanks a lot for making this site, i havent posted in the reply section before but your site and your readers and posters have helped me through a lot of issues with Kali so a super big THANK YOU to you.

Unfortunately devices that support NVIDIA Optimus does not work properly, you have to remove nvidia-xconfig (xorg.conf) or do not install it.

Lets wait for the official relliza Installation Nvidia Optimus.

I think that in the future will not need such a complex manipulation (Guide) Installing Nvidia Bumblebee CUDA for Optimus enabled Laptops since the new Kali Linux has support for Nvidia Optimus compared to previous versions.

Actually, after installing the driver, bumblebee and cuda i tried an.

I have an asus g751jy with the gtx 980m which does not have optimus.

The lspci grep VGA command does not output my specific GPU but instead this 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 13d7 (rev a1).

With this tutorial I get stuck on the xorg.conf creation giving me a black screen with cursor.

Ive tried first with the standard 3.18 kernel then tried compiling 3.19 from source disabling nouveau.

Also tried using the proprietary driver from nvidia 346.35 which worked up untill the installation of cuda and came up with an error saying debian did not support what the driver had done, and telling me to revert the changes that were made.

Everything went exactly as you said, got the same warnings etc.

But after the reboot, every time I tried to login I get a black screen.

I only have VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 0a2e (rev 09).
