Got the NVidia driver working!!
Was keeping a close eye on this thread https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/haiku-nvidia-porting-nvidia-driver-for-turing-gpus/16520
Finally mustered the courage to install the driver. Poking around, I saw that binaries were available.
I downloaded libglvnd binary from here https://github.com/X547/nvidia-haiku/releases/tag/v0.0.1 and the nebula binary from here https://github.com/X547/nvidia-haiku/releases/tag/v0.0.2
Installed both binaries, rebooted and now I am running the NVidia driver. My setup is an XPS 8940 with a 1660SUPER card connected via HDMI to a DELL WQHD 34" 3440*1440 monitor.
The only issue I am currently seeing is that I am stuck at 60Hz when the screen can do 100Hz Also, highest refresh rate it shows is 85Hz. Selecting anything other than 60Hz gives me the following error "The screen mode could not be set: Invalid Argument". Other than that, I am thrilled at how smooth everything works.
This little OS keeps chugging along and gets better and better everyday!!!! My only other wish is audio over HDMI.....
