+`extended_controller_support` (`lib/controllers.sh`, top-level, off by default, 2.10.0) installs two kernel drivers from CachyOS's own

+DKMS modules, built for every installed kernel, so `install_kernel_headers` (`lib/steam-machine.sh`) makes sure each kernel has its
+headers first. A PC that already has the AUR's `xone-dkms-git` keeps it: it provides the same driver and conflicts with the repo's
+`xone-dkms`. Status is the three packages being installed. Off removes only what Steamify installed (state
+`extended_controller_support`, `installed_pkgs`); the headers stay. The drivers load when the device shows up: the dongle is
+plugged in again, or the controller reconnected. `tests/controllers-test.sh` tests it with a stub `pacman`.
+
+## Gaming on NVIDIA
+
+gamescope's own gaming mode shows a corrupted picture on NVIDIA graphics cards: NVIDIA's open bug 5240452 (flicker and
+artifacts in the DRM session at modes above 2560x1440@120, seen up to driver 595 and on RTX 3070 Ti, 4090, 5090 and 5080;
+no fix known). The kernel parameters `nvidia-drm.modeset=1`/`fbdev=1` and loading the NVIDIA modules early don't change it
+(the driver already reports both `Y`), and gamescope started nested inside KDE artifacts too when KWin hands its fullscreen
+window straight to the display. What does work on an RTX 5080: Steam's Big Picture (`steam -gamepadui`) as a normal window of
+the Plasma desktop session, smooth and clean.
+
+So with an NVIDIA GPU (PCI vendor 0x10de, display class, its driver providing `nvidia_drm`: `nvidia_present`) the SteamOS
+conversion (`gaming`, and its options `boot`, `single`, `glyphs`) isn't offered, unless it is already on (so it can be turned
+off). `nvidia` ("Gaming on NVIDIA", `lib/nvidia.sh`) takes its place, hidden while the conversion is on (both would start
+Steam at login): it installs `steam` when missing (recorded in state `nvidia`, removed again only then) and enables the user
+unit `steamify-steam-autostart.service` (`services/`, `ExecStart=/usr/bin/steam @ARGS@`, Plasma only). Its sub-option
+`bigpicture` ("Steam starts in Big Picture", ticked along with it) rewrites the unit with `-gamepadui` and sets
+`ksmserverrc [General] loginMode=emptySession` (`kset`, undone with `krevert bigpicture`), so windows of the last session
+(Discord, a browser) aren't restored on top of Big Picture; unticked, Steam starts in its normal window. The PC always boots into the desktop: there is no gamescope session. Takes effect at the next
+login.
+
+On a supported card (RTX 20 series or newer: not on chwd's legacy lists `/var/lib/chwd/ids/nvidia-*.ids`, the VRAM booster's
+check, `vram_nvidia_legacy_id`; `nvidia_supported`) enabling it also does what NVIDIA's DRM stack wants, though it didn't cure
+gamescope: `nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1` on the kernel command line (Limine, systemd-boot or GRUB; the file is
+backed up first; on Limine into the existing `KERNEL_CMDLINE[default]="..."` or `+="..."` line, never an extra appended line,
+which ends up as text; the kernel treats `nvidia_drm` and `nvidia-drm` alike) and
+`/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/90-steamify-nvidia.conf` (`MODULES+=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)`), then the initramfs
+and boot entries are rebuilt and checked for the parameters. The early-load drop-in is only there while every installed kernel
+has the NVIDIA modules (mkinitcpio fails on a missing module, and `limine-mkinitcpio` then skips that kernel's boot entry):
+a pacman hook (`/etc/pacman.d/hooks/85-steamify-nvidia-initramfs.hook`, after DKMS, before the initramfs is built) runs
+`/usr/local/libexec/steamify-nvidia-initramfs` at every kernel or driver change and decides again. Turning it off removes
+all of it. `tests/nvidia-hardware-test.sh check|apply|visual` is for a real NVIDIA PC (writes `~/steamify-nvidia-report.txt`). `tests/nvidia-test.sh` tests it against a fake GPU, a stub `pacman` and `systemctl`, and a temp home.
+
+Tried and dropped (notes in steamify-cachyos-dev, `nvidia/HARDWARE-RESULTS.md`): a gamescope session that opens Big Picture in Plasma (it needed the `start-gamescope-session`
+command shadowed in `/usr/local/bin`, and showed the desktop for a few seconds, then a Steam window with a black border);
+a KWin session without Plasma (the mouse stuttered every second or two).

With an NVIDIA GPU the conversion (gaming, boot, single, glyphs) is hidden unless already on, and nvidia takes its place: Steam installed when missing and started at login on the Plasma desktop (user unit), with the sub-option bigpicture for Big Picture or the normal window. The kernel parameters and early NVIDIA modules (RTX 20 series or newer) are kept as part of it. tests/nvidia-test.sh covers the component and the menu rules against a fake GPU.	2026-10-01 19:04:58 +02:00
