Opengl Nvidia Drivers

Active6 months ago

Windows driver version 382.88 and Linux drivers version 381.26.11 provide beta support for OpenGL 4.6 and GLSL 4.60 on capable hardware. Please note these drivers are for developers who want to experiment with “OpenGL 4.6”. NVIDIA has published a new graphics driver for Windows 7/8 and Windows 10 that brings the support for new GeForce RTX laptops and delivers the best performance in the DLSS-updated (DLSS for Deep Learning Super Sampling) version of 3DMark Port Royal benchmark. At long last, NVIDIA is dropping the requirement to use a Quadro card to get 30-bit (10bpc) color support on OpenGL applications; the company will finally be extending that feature to GeForce. NVIDIA continues to support OpenGL as well through technical papers and large set of examples on NVIDIA Graphics SDK. This page provides links to both general release drivers that support OpenGL 4.6, and developer beta drivers that support upcoming Nvidia OpenGL Driver features.

I need to use OpenGL in my code. I am using CMake in order to search opengl in my system like this :

It returns this error :

I have installed nvidia-drivers-418 (not the headless ones). It shows all the opengl information here:

Nvidia driver has libnvidia-gl-418 package in it, and to me it seems it should provide me with the opengl capabilities. Here is the output of dpkg -l libnvidia-gl-418:

and dpkg -L libnvidia-gl-418:

Last time, I had to install mesa-utils (for glxinfo) and libgl1-mesa-dev to use opengl. I want to know if nvidia drivers are of any use for opengl or I should have installed headless drivers instead? (How) Can I use opengl installed in nvidia? Thank you.

First and foremost: Don't mess with any symlinks or libraries installed on your system by the package manager or the NVidia driver installer!If you did, you better return it to the state you found things.

So what's missing are the OpenGL headers, not the libraries. Those use(d) to come with the NVidia driver installer, but if you use your systems package manager, they will be split into a different package.

Technically you could just copy the headers from the OpenGL registry into your project. But usually folks go with installing the default system package that ships the headers.

In case of Debian and Ubuntu that'd be the mesa-common-dev package. Never mind that it's the Mesa package, the headers are the same (functionally).
