- Fix SCRIPT_DIR resolution to always produce absolute path using cd/pwd instead of unreliable readlink -f fallback - Add consistent error propagation across all setup_* functions; previously only setup_amd_auto handled template failures - Make NVIDIA driver version configurable via NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION environment variable (default: 580) - Fix enable_rc_conf to update existing keys with incorrect values, not just check for key presence - Add backup rotation to prevent unbounded growth in /etc/X11/backup; keeps last 10 backups (configurable via BACKUP_KEEP) - Cache detect_vm_guest result to avoid repeated sysctl calls during auto-detection sequence - Add detect_hybrid_gpu function for multi-vendor GPU detection; automatically selects dual config when hybrid graphics detected - Enhance debug output with GPU vendor detection status, hybrid detection result, and backup directory listing - Document NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION in usage text - Add warning in offline install path about dependency requirements - Add service support for virtualbox
Correct hybrid GPU detection false positives The detect_hybrid_gpu function was counting grep matches rather than actual GPU devices, causing single-GPU systems to be misidentified as hybrid configurations. Changes: - Add count_gpu_devices() to count actual VGA/display class PCI devices instead of grep line matches - Rewrite detect_hybrid_gpu to require multiple devices AND multiple vendors (Intel+NVIDIA, Intel+AMD, etc.) - Change auto-detection to prefer discrete GPU over dual config; hybrid systems now select NVIDIA > AMD > Intel by priority - Make 'dual' command manual-only for users who need displays connected to separate GPUs - Improve debug output to show GPU device count and scoped pciconf output Previously a system with one NVIDIA GPU would match multiple grep lines and incorrectly trigger the dual monitor template.
GhostBSD pkg requires exact package names including full version (nvidia-driver-580.105.08), not just major version (nvidia-driver-580). Changes: - Query pkg search to find matching package by major version - Support both major (580) and full (580.105.08) version formats - Exclude -devel packages unless explicitly requested - Fall back to latest non-legacy driver if requested version unavailable - Add selected package name to debug output Fixes installation failure: pkg: No packages available to install matching 'nvidia-driver-580'
Key Changes: 3D Controller Class Detection - NVIDIA dGPUs in laptops and servers often register as "3D controller" rather than "VGA/display". Updated detect_nvidia_gpu(), get_nvidia_device_ids(), count_gpu_devices(), and detect_hybrid_gpu() to include this class. Explicit Device ID Table - Added ~150 specific device IDs in nvidia_device_to_driver() for known edge cases that don't fit neat prefix patterns: 304 legacy: NV4x/G7x (GeForce 6xxx/7xxx) with explicit 00xx-03xx device IDs 340 legacy: Tesla architecture (GeForce 8xxx/9xxx/2xx/3xx) 390 legacy: Fermi (GTX 4xx/5xx/6xx low-end) 470 legacy: Early Kepler (GK1xx) devices dropped from 535+ Better Architecture Coverage: Added Hopper (H100, 23xx) for data center GPUs Added Volta (1dxx) for Titan V / Quadro GV100 Fixed Blackwell range (2bxx/2cxx, not all 2xxx) Separated Pascal (1bxx/1cxx) from Volta (1dxx) Enhanced Debug Output - Shows per-device driver mapping so you can see exactly what driver each GPU will get. Deduplication - get_nvidia_device_ids() now uses sort -u to avoid duplicate entries in multi-GPU systems.
Add 'nvidia-select' command for manual driver selection via bsddialog/dialog. The menu displays detected GPU device IDs, auto-detected driver recommendations, and allows users to override automatic detection when needed. Features: - Detects bsddialog (preferred) or dialog as fallback - Shows all detected NVIDIA GPUs with PCI device IDs - Lists all supported driver versions (580, 470, 390, 340, 304) - Includes "auto" option to use auto-detected driver - Allows cancel without making changes
