a bit messy, but it works without me having to play around with it now.

Nvidia vGPU-Merged Packages for Arch Linux

Use Nvidia vGPU and GeForce functions of consumer-grade NVIDIA GPUs.

This repository contains scripts for building all components of the "merged" driver package into drop-in replacements for the Arch Linux NVIDIA packages. It adds the following additional functions by means of scripts/drop-ins:

  • Wrapper for nvidia-smi to support recognizing consumer GPUs as vGPU-capable
  • Dependency re-ordering to ensure libvirtd, if installed, will start after the NVIDIA vGPU services.

Compatible Linux Versions:

  • Various 5.11 or older releases
  • 5.12
  • 5.14 except for some of the earlier 5.14 releases
  • 5.15

Important

These packages are not guaranteed to work out of the box (or at all), so use it at your own risk. Backups should be taken before attempting to replace stock NVIDIA drivers on any system.

Installation

  1. Build and install desired packages
  2. Edit /etc/vgpu_unlock/profile_override.toml and set desired overrides.
  3. Enable nvidia-vgpu-mgr.service and nvidia-vgpud.service
  4. Reboot.

It is recommended to at least install nvidia-merged and nvidia-merged-settings, which will include the required services/kernel module sources by dependency.

This project would not be possible without all those who came before me that wrote the software and figured out how to implement it:
