It says “nouveau” on uevent but that’s all I guess. AMD driver is also open source, how does that work for it? Nvidia recently opened the kernel parts of the driver, it’s possible that my system haven’t got those parts yet. Maybe there is still time for NVK. All I can say is, Wayland experience is better with NVK comparing to proprietary driver.
AMD drivers expose API thru sysfs and system monitors just parse that. Seems like nouveau does not expose anything like that. You can still put a thumbsup on nvtop issue about nouveau support.
I don’t have a Nvidia GPU, so I can’t test it, maybe Mission Center works.
From their GitLab readme:
That looks like a nice project. Though sadly didn’t work for NVK. I’m assuming it would work with a proprietary driver since it’s based on nvtop.
Does nvk expose anything thru sysfs?
Take a look at “/sys/class/drm/card*/device/”
