Experimental Patches Get Nouveau+NVK Working On NVIDIA DGX Spark GB10
Red Hat’s David Airlie brought the reverse-engineered Nouveau kernel driver and Mesa NVK Vulkan driver up on NVIDIA’s GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip in DGX Spark. The roughly 100-patch bring-up adapts to NVIDIA’s newer R610 firmware and fixes display, VRAM, L2-cache, boot, and depth/stencil handling. It is invasive and explicitly experimental—the work may be superseded by the Nova transition—but it is a notable open-driver milestone for a current NVIDIA platform.
The Phoronix forum thread had no responses or reactions when checked, so there is no substantive community reaction to add.
