There is no driver or accelerant.

It currently runs on a laptop with native resolution 1920x1080 in built-in screen, but I think it runs in VESA mode, probably the same situation with #17680.

Due to not having drivers, it cannot output to a secondary monitor through HDMI (DisplayPort port not tested).

Would have to port pscnv driver to Haiku and update source code:

Hi, Thanks for the pointer! I just cloned the bsd driver to have a closer look at it (currently peeking at nouveau and testing some stuff in our older nvidia driver but I keep hitting a problem I need to solve still: maybe another view into the nouveau code via this bsd 'version' helps me get a clearer view)

Mind you, just poking around a bit, don't get your hopes up on my account ;-)

Architecture: Pascal

No luck. Open source Nvidia kernel drivers are for Turing+ only.

Any improvement to the nvidia driver for Haiku is welcome, even if it's small and doesn't cover all the latest cards!
