Hello,
I have a rather old PC (2010 !) with a Nvidia Quadro FX 580 with a Solus 4.1 Fortitude installed.
If I do :
sudo lshw -c video
*-display

The actual driver (It may be Nouveau I guess) works fine for every use (video, some games and internet) but I can't get blender 2.8x to work (2.7xx does), processing canvas are blank, same for Godot, etc ... so I thought about installing the proprietary driver but if I open Doflicky, it says 'no driver were found on your system'.

Is there a safe (and easy) way to install it anyway ? (After a Solus update, I found my nvidia driver was gone and I had a bad experience manually installing nvidia driver and being unable to boot ... )

Thank you,

    Nvidia stopped supporting your GPU therefore we don't have any driver for it anymore

    zomoz I believe Blender 2.8 raised their OpenGL requirements to 4.0 which is beyond what the Mesalib nv50 OpenGL driver for your card supports. This problem won't be going away, so I'm afraid my recommendation to you is to upgrade that card to something Fermi or newer. Fermi cards have full OpenGL 4.5 support on Nouveau. Anything newer is supported by the Nvidia drivers we ship.

      Hello,
      Thanks a lot for the answer. I hoped there was a workaround somewhere. I'll try to see if I can find a graphic card like you mentioned.
