\nAs a wonderful New Year surprise, there’s good momentum on NVIDIA graphics support for the BeOS-inspired Haiku open-source operating system.<\/p>\n
As reported on nearly one year ago, NVIDIA’s official open-source kernel modules were ported to Haiku<\/a> although designed for their Linux kernel use. The Mesa NVK Vulkan driver was also being adapted to run atop the NVIDIA open-source modules as part of this effort for bettering the Haiku NVIDIA graphics driver support. In closing out 2025, NVIDIA-Haiku v0.0.1 driver packages are available that pair the NVIDIA open-source kernel modules (not the Nouveau kernel driver) with the NVK Vulkan driver as well as Mesa’s Zink driver for OpenGL-atop-Vulkan.
\n<\/p>\n If it’s not clear enough from the v0.0.1 version number, this driver work is still very alpha quality and not yet integrated into Haiku proper. With using the NVIDIA open-source kernel modules, the NVIDIA hardware support is limited to Turing GPUs and newer due to the dependence on the NVIDIA GPU System Processor (GSP).
\n<\/p>\n The NVIDIA-Haiku driver sources are available via this GitHub repository<\/a>. More details on the effort via this Haiku-OS.org thread<\/a>.
Developer X512 who has been leading the effort also showed off some screenshots recently, including working NVIDIA graphics on this stack from a RISC-V SiFive HiFive Unmatched developer board paired with a NVIDIA graphics card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As a wonderful New Year surprise, there’s good momentum on NVIDIA graphics support for the BeOS-inspired Haiku open-source…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[78437,85,46,78436,78434,78433,78440,78438,78435,78439,78432,78443,125,78441,78442],"class_list":{"0":"post-215939","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-desktop-linux","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-linux-benchmarking","12":"tag-linux-hardware-benchmarks","13":"tag-linux-hardware-reviews","14":"tag-linux-how-to","15":"tag-linux-performance","16":"tag-linux-server-benchmarks","17":"tag-open-source-graphics","18":"tag-phoronix","19":"tag-phoronix-test-suite","20":"tag-technology","21":"tag-ubuntu-benchmarks","22":"tag-ubuntu-hardware"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
