The computer device in the embodiment of the present application is installed with a Linux Operating System, and the type of the Linux Operating System in the embodiment of the present application is not limited in this embodiment, for example, the Linux Operating System may include any one of, but is not limited to, debian, ubuntu (wu Ban Tu), centros (Community Enterprise Operating System), UOS (System trusted desktop Operating System), kylin Operating System, and german Operating System.
In order to support that dynamic switching between Nvidia closed source drivers of different versions can be realized without uninstalling installed video card drivers in a system, in the embodiment of the present application, a first video card driver library is installed in a computer device in advance, where the first video card driver library includes at least one Nvidia closed source driver installed in advance.
Each Nvidia closed source driver in the first video card driver library may be pre-installed in a preset directory of the computer device, where the preset directory may be any specified directory. The installation files of the Nvidia closed-source drivers in the first video card driver library are preprocessed and converted into compatible installation packages of the Nvidia closed-source drivers, and the Nvidia closed-source drivers can be compatibly installed in the same system by installing the compatible installation packages of the Nvidia closed-source drivers, so that the first video card driver library can be constructed. Each Nvidia closed source driver in the first video card driver library is not valid although it is pre-installed in the computer device. In this embodiment, the default display card driver of the computer device refers to a currently active display card driver. It can be understood that, by the display card drive switching method of the present application, a default display card drive of the computer device may be set as a certain Nvidia closed source drive in the first display card drive library.
The video card drive switching method provided by the application can be used for switching the default video card drive into a certain Nvidia closed-source drive in the first video card drive library through user triggering under the next two scenes.
Scene one
The first scenario is used for setting default display card drive for the replaced display card after the computer device replaces the Nvidia display card. In practical application, a user may need to replace the Nvidia display cards of different models, and then the computer device is powered off, then the Nvidia display card of the required model is replaced, and then the computer device is powered on to start up. After the system is started, the Linux system sets default display card drive through automatic adaptation. If the user is not satisfied with the default video card driver automatically set by the system, a driver reconfiguration operation can be performed, and the driver reconfiguration operation can trigger a driver reconfiguration request. And after receiving the reconfiguration drive request, the computer equipment responds to the reconfiguration drive request and displays a preset interface. The preset Interface may be a human-computer Interface (hmi) including a UI (User Interface), and the hmi may display one or more version numbers of the optional Nvidia closed-source driver. The selectable Nvidia closed source driver is an Nvidia closed source driver which exists in the first video card driver library and is adapted to the current video card in the computer device. And according to the selection result of the user aiming at the preset interface, a default display card drive can be set. For example, a certain Nvidia closed source driver selected by the user from the preset interface may be set as the default graphics card driver.
Scene two
And the second scene is used for replacing the default display card driver for the current Nvidia display card under the condition that the display card is not replaced by the computer equipment. In practical applications, a user may want to replace only another version of Nvidia closed-source driver without replacing a current Nvidia graphics card, and may perform a reconfiguration driver operation, where the reconfiguration driver operation may trigger a reconfiguration driver request. And after receiving the reconfiguration drive request, the computer equipment responds to the reconfiguration drive request and displays a preset interface. The preset interface may display one or more version numbers of the optional Nvidia closed source driver. And according to the selection result of the user aiming at the preset interface, a default display card drive can be set.
The embodiment of the present application does not limit the form of the reconfiguration driving operation. Illustratively, the reconfiguration driving operation may be clicking a certain preset button or performing a certain preset gesture operation, and the like.
By the embodiment of the application, a user can select the required Nvidia closed-source drive in a manual configuration mode, and accordingly dynamic switching between different versions of Nvidia closed-source drives is achieved.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, before the presenting the preset interface in step 102, the method may further include:
s11, detecting the type of a current display card in the computer equipment;
step S12, if the type of the current display card is an Nvidia display card, obtaining a drive version list adapted to the current display card by searching a preset drive information entry table, wherein the drive information entry table records the version numbers of drives adapted to different Nvidia display cards, and the drive version list adapted to the current display card comprises the version numbers of all Nvidia closed-source drives adapted to the current display card, which are searched in the drive information entry table;
step S13, determining that the Nvidia closed source driver existing in the first video card driver library is the optional Nvidia closed source driver in the driver version list adapted to the current video card.
It should be noted that, the current display card described in the embodiment of the present application refers to a currently active display card in the computer device. In particular implementations, multiple graphics cards (including integrated graphics cards and/or stand-alone graphics cards) may be included in a computer device, in which case the currently active graphics card may be determined from the multiple graphics cards. In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method may further comprise:
and if the computer equipment is detected to comprise a plurality of display cards, determining that the external display screen in the plurality of display cards is the current display card in the computer equipment.
For example, suppose that a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) card 1 is inserted into a PCI slot 1 of a computer device and a PCI card 2 is inserted into a PCI slot 2 of the computer device, and the computer device further includes a certain integrated card, that is, if 3 cards are included in the computer device, which card is externally connected to a display screen is further determined, and the card externally connected to the display screen is used as a current card in the computer device.
Taking a VGA (Video Graphics Array ) display screen as an example, it can be determined in this example which display card of the 3 display cards has the VGA display screen externally connected, and the display card externally connected with the VGA display screen is taken as the current display card in the computer device. Of course, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the external display screen, and may further include an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) display screen, for example.
The current graphics card in the computer device may also be referred to as a start graphics card, that is, a graphics card driver of the start graphics card is automatically started when the computer device is started.
In step S11, the type of the current graphics card in the computer device is detected, and specifically, the type of the current graphics card may be detected through the number information of the current graphics card.
Illustratively, the computer Device may read the number information of the current graphics card in the PCI slot after receiving the reconfiguration drive request, and the number information may include VID (Vendor Identification) and/or DID (Device Identification).
The method includes the steps that whether the type of a current display card is an Nvidia display card or not can be determined according to VID, if the type of the current display card is determined to be the Nvidia display card, a driving version list matched with the current display card can be obtained by searching a preset driving information entry table, version numbers of drivers matched with different Nvidia display cards are recorded in the driving information entry table, and the driving version list matched with the current display card comprises the version numbers of all Nvidia closed-source drivers matched with the current display card, which are searched in the driving information entry table.
In a specific implementation, a driving information entry table (also referred to as a VID/DID entry table) may be stored in the computer device, and the driving information entry table may record a version number of an Nvidia closed-source driver adapted to Nvidia display cards of all currently released models and number information of the Nvidia display cards of all currently released models. Therefore, the drive information entry table can be searched through the number information of the current display card, so that the version numbers of all the Nvidia closed-source drives matched with the number information of the current display card are obtained, and a drive version list matched with the current display card is also obtained.
If the acquired drive version list adapted to the current display card is not empty, it may be further determined in the drive version list that the installed Nvidia closed source driver in the computer device is an optional Nvidia closed source driver. Specifically, if the acquired driver version list adapted to the current graphics card is not empty, a first graphics card driver library may be searched based on the driver version list, and it is determined in the driver version list that the Nvidia closed-source driver existing in the first graphics card driver library is the optional Nvidia closed-source driver, and then the determined version number of the optional Nvidia closed-source driver may be displayed in the preset interface as an optional item for the user to select.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the setting the default display card driver according to the selection result for the preset interface may include:
if the selection result comprises a version number of one Nvidia closed-source driver displayed in the preset interface, setting the Nvidia closed-source driver corresponding to the selected version number as a default display card driver; or if the selection result is null, keeping the current default display card drive unchanged.
After the preset interface is presented to the user, the user may select the version number of a certain Nvidia closed source driver or not (the selection result is null).
And under the condition that a user selects a version number of a certain Nvidia closed-source driver, setting the Nvidia closed-source driver corresponding to the version number selected by the user as a default display card driver. In case the user does not make a selection (the selection result is null), the current default graphics card driver may be kept unchanged. Further, when it is determined that the optional Nvidia closed source driver does not exist in the first graphics card driver library, a default graphics card driver may be set as an Nvidia open source driver, and the Nvidia open source driver may be a Nouveau open source driver.
Further, if the obtained drive version list adapted to the current video card is empty, or although the obtained drive version list adapted to the current video card is not empty, the Nvidia closed source drive in the drive version list does not exist in the first video card drive library. In either case, it may be considered that there is no optional Nvidia closed-source driver, and the version number of the optional Nvidia closed-source driver in the preset interface may be null, or only an "automatic selection" option is displayed in the preset interface. At this time, a default graphics card driver may be set to the Nvidia open source driver.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method may further comprise:
s21, when the display card of the computer equipment is detected to be replaced, detecting the type of the replaced display card;
step S22, if the type of the replaced display card is detected to be an Nvidia display card, obtaining a driving version list adapted to the replaced display card by searching a preset driving information entry table, wherein the driving information entry table records the version numbers of the drivers adapted to different Nvidia display cards, and the driving version list adapted to the replaced display card comprises the version numbers of all the Nvidia closed-source drivers adapted to the replaced display card, which are searched in the driving information entry table;
step S23, determining the Nvidia closed source driver existing in the first video card driver library in the driver version list adapted to the replaced video card, and setting the version number of the Nvidia closed source driver as a default video card driver.
In practical applications, a user may need to replace a graphics card of a computer device, and the replaced graphics card may be an Nvidia graphics card or a non-Nvidia graphics card. It should be noted that the replaced Nvidia display card may be an Nvidia display card of different models, and the replaced non-Nvidia display card may include, but is not limited to, any one of the following: AMD/ATI display cards, various domestic PCI display cards, intel/Zxe and other domestic and foreign onboard display cards.
In a specific implementation, whether the display card of the computer device is replaced can be judged by detecting the number information of the current display card in the PCI slot. For example, after the computer device is started, the number information of the current graphics card in the PCI slot may be automatically read, and if it is detected that the read number information changes from the previous record, it may be determined that the graphics card of the computer device is replaced, that is, the graphics card in the PCI slot is the replaced graphics card, and at this time, the type of the replaced graphics card may be determined according to the read number information.
If the type of the replaced display card is detected to be the Nvidia display card, a driving version list adapted to the replaced display card can be obtained by searching a preset driving information entry table. The drive information entry table records version numbers of drives adapted to different Nvidia display cards, and the drive version list adapted to the replaced display card comprises the version numbers of all Nvidia closed-source drives adapted to the replaced display card, which are searched in the drive information entry table.
If the obtained driver version list adapted to the replaced display card is not empty, a first display card driver library can be searched based on the driver version list, and the Nvidia closed source driver existing in the first display card driver library is determined in the driver version list. If the number of the Nvidia closed source drivers existing in the first video card driver library determined in the driver version list is greater than 1, the video card driver with the largest version number may be set as the default video card driver.
Therefore, after the display card of the computer equipment is replaced, when the replaced display card is detected to be the Nvidia display card, the Nvidia closed-source drive matched with the replaced display card can be automatically switched in an automatic adapting mode.
After the default display card driver is automatically set, if the user is not satisfied with the default display card driver automatically configured by the system, the reconfiguration drive request can be triggered by executing the reconfiguration drive operation. After receiving the reconfiguration drive request, the computer device responds to the reconfiguration drive request to display a preset interface, wherein the preset interface displays a version number of an optional Nvidia closed-source drive, so that a user can reselect a default display card drive in a manual configuration mode.
Therefore, the embodiment of the application can realize the dynamic switching between the drivers of different versions of the Nvidia display card. In addition, in order to further implement dynamic switching between drivers of different non-Nvidia graphics cards, the preset graphics card driver library according to the embodiment of the present application may further include a second graphics card driver library, where the second graphics card driver library includes at least one non-Nvidia graphics card driver that is installed in advance.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, after the detecting the type of the replaced graphics card in step S21, the method may further include:
step S31, if the type of the replaced display card is detected to be a non-Nvidia display card, judging whether a default display card drive of the computer equipment is matched with the replaced display card;
step S32, if the default display card driver of the computer equipment is not matched with the replaced display card, searching a non-Nvidia display card driver matched with the replaced display card in the second display card driver library;
and S33, setting the searched non-Nvidia display card driver matched with the replaced display card as a default display card driver.
In the embodiment of the application, when the computer device detects that the display card is replaced, the type of the replaced display card is detected, if the type of the replaced display card is detected to be a non-Nvidia display card, whether the current default display card drive of the computer device is matched with the replaced display card or not is further judged, and if the type of the replaced display card is detected to be the non-Nvidia display card, the current default display card drive is kept unchanged; if the current default display card driver is not matched with the replaced display card, searching a non-Nvidia display card driver matched with the replaced display card in a second display card driver library, and setting the searched non-Nvidia display card driver matched with the replaced display card as the default display card driver. Therefore, after the display card of the computer equipment is replaced, when the replaced display card is detected to be a non-Nvidia display card, the non-Nvidia closed source drive matched with the replaced display card can be automatically switched in an automatic adapting mode.
Further, if it is detected that the type of the replaced graphics card is a non-Nvidia graphics card, and it is detected that the default graphics card driver of the computer device is not adapted to the replaced graphics card, and the non-Nvidia graphics card driver adapted to the replaced graphics card is not found in the second graphics card driver library, the default graphics card driver may be set as an open source driver of the non-Nvidia graphics card that is provided by the system kernel itself, such as a vesa driver.
For example, whether the default video card driver of the computer device is matched with the replaced video card may be determined by the serial number information of the video card, for example, whether the VID of the default video card driver of the computer device is matched with the VID of the replaced video card.
In this embodiment of the application, the default display card driver setting mode may include the following two modes: the method I is an automatic configuration method executed after the system detects that the display card is replaced after the system is started. And the manual configuration mode is executed through man-machine interaction after the user triggers the reconfiguration drive request. The two switching modes can realize the switching between different drivers of different display cards or the switching between drivers of different versions of the same display card.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of a video card drive switching flow in a scenario of replacing an Nvidia video card in the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 2, in steps 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, when the computing device detects that the graphics card is replaced and determines that the type of the replaced graphics card is an Nvidia graphics card, a default graphics card driving procedure is set through automatic configuration of the system. Step 2011, step 2012, step 2013, step 2023, step 2024, step 2025, and step 2026 are steps of setting a default display card driving procedure through manual configuration of a user when the computing device detects that the display card is replaced and determines that the type of the replaced display card is the Nvidia display card. Step 2021, step 2022, step 2023, step 2024, step 2025, and step 2026 are to set up a default video card driver flow through manual configuration by the user when the video card of the computing device is not replaced.
It should be noted that, in fig. 2, after the graphics card is replaced, the step 2023 triggers the reconfiguration drive request before the system automatically configures the default graphics card drive in step 2014, and of course, in a specific implementation, the step 2023 triggers the reconfiguration drive request may also be after the system automatically configures the default graphics card drive in step 2014, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the setting, in step 103, the default display card driver according to the selection result for the preset interface may include:
s41, determining target drive according to a selection result aiming at the preset interface;
step S42, if the target driver is an Nvidia closed source driver in the first video card driver library, querying configuration data of the target driver under an installation path of the target driver, wherein the configuration data comprises a driver file name of the target driver and a library file path of the target driver;
and S43, updating the configuration file of the default display card drive according to the configuration data of the target drive.
In an embodiment of the present application, the target driver may include one of: the method comprises the following steps of selecting an Nvidia closed source driver from a preset interface by a user, automatically selecting an Nvidia closed source driver by a system, automatically selecting a non-Nvidia display card driver by the system, and automatically selecting an Nvidia open source driver by the system.
And if the target driver is the Nvidia closed source driver in the first video card driver library, inquiring configuration data of the target driver under the installation path of the target driver. When the target driver is the Nvidia closed source driver in the first video card driver library, the target driver is installed by using a compatible installation package of the Nvidia closed source driver, the Nvidia closed source driver can be installed in a preset directory of the computer device by using the compatible installation package, and the Nvidia closed source driver is not valid when not set as the default video card driver. The installation path of the target driver refers to an installation path after installing a compatible installation package of the Nvidia closed source driver in the computer equipment.
The configuration data of the target driver includes a drive file name of the target driver and a library file path of the target driver. The target drive file refers to a target drive ko file, and the drive file name of the target drive is the file name of the target drive ko file. The ko file is a module file, the ko file is also a dynamic connection file used by a Linux operating system kernel, and a kernel module is loaded when the system is started. The target-driven Library file includes an OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) file and a binary bin file that are dependent on the target drive, and the path of the target-driven Library file includes a path of the OpenGL Library file and a path of the binary bin file that are dependent on the target drive. In a specific implementation, the object-driven library file may further include dynamic library files such as OpenCL (Open Computing Language) and EGL, where the EGL is a part of OpenGL and is a middle layer between an OpenGL interface and a graphics backend. In the embodiment of the present application, two library files, openGL and binary bin, are mainly used as an example for description.
After the computer equipment is started, the Linux system kernel can find the driver file of the default display card driver needing to be loaded by reading the configuration file and establish a link between the driver file and the library file depended on the driver file, so that the default display card driver takes effect.
According to the embodiment of the application, when the default display card drive needs to be switched, the previous configuration data in the configuration file is cleared, and the configuration data is updated to the configuration data of the target drive, so that the default display card drive can be switched to the target drive.
After the configuration file of the default display card driver is updated, when the computer equipment is started next time, the Linux system kernel can directly read the updated configuration file as a preferred driver item of a user to guide and start the switched display card driver.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, before receiving the reconfiguration drive request, the method may further include:
s51, acquiring an installation file of the Nvidia closed source driver to be installed;
step S52, converting the installation file of the Nvidia closed source drive into a compatible installation package;
and S53, installing at least one Nvidia closed source drive compatible installation package in the computer equipment to obtain the first display card drive library.
In practical application, the installation of a plurality of Nvidia closed-source drivers conflicts, and only one Nvidia closed-source driver can be installed in the same system. Therefore, when replacing the Nvidia shutdown driver, it is necessary to uninstall the installed Nvidia shutdown driver and then install a new Nvidia shutdown driver. In order to support the dynamic switching of the installed Nvidia closed source driver without uninstalling the installed Nvidia closed source driver, in the embodiment of the present application, an installation file of the existing Nvidia closed source driver is converted to obtain a compatible installation package of the Nvidia closed source driver, so that a plurality of Nvidia closed source drivers can be compatibly installed in the same system, and thus, a first video card driver library can be constructed.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the converting the installation file of the Nvidia closed-source driver into the compatible installation package in step S52 may include:
s61, mounting a working path through a combined mounting file system, and copying an installation file driven by the Nvidia closed source to the working path;
step S62, operating the installation file of the Nvidia closed source drive under the root user environment small system of the working path;
s63, searching all files generated by operating the installation files of the Nvidia closed source driver in the directory of the working path to obtain a file set to be packaged;
step S64, modifying source codes in the file set to enable different drive file names of the Nvidia closed source drives to be different, and modifying library file paths of the Nvidia closed source drives in the file set to enable different library file paths of the Nvidia closed source drives to be different;
and S65, arranging the modified file set into an installation package.
In a specific implementation, the installation file of the Nvidia closed source driver is usually a run format file.
For an installation file of a certain Nvidia closed source driver to be converted, in the embodiment of the present application, a working path is mounted through overlay (a combined mount file system), and the installation file of the Nvidia closed source driver is copied to the working path. And then running the installation file of the Nvidia closed source drive under the root user environment small system of the working path, wherein the root user environment small system in the Linux system is a pure system environment which runs independently, and the root user environment small system can be switched in through a chroma command. According to the embodiment of the application, the installation file of the Nvidia closed source drive is operated in the root user environment small system, and the original large environment of the Linux system cannot be influenced.
After the installation file of the Nvidia closed source drive is operated under the root user environment small system of the working path, all files generated by operating the installation file of the Nvidia closed source drive are searched under the directory of the working path, and a file set to be packaged is obtained.
In the prior art, when an Nvidia closed-source driver is installed, the names of drive files after installing different versions of the Nvidia closed-source driver are the same, and the paths of library files after installing different versions of the Nvidia closed-source driver are the same, thereby causing installation conflicts of different Nvidia closed-source drivers. In order to solve the problem, different Nvidia closed-source drivers can be installed compatibly, in the embodiment of the present application, a source code in the file set is modified, so that names of drive files after different Nvidia closed-source drivers are installed are different, and an installation structure of a library file path of the Nvidia closed-source driver in the file set is modified, so that the library file paths after different Nvidia closed-source drivers are installed are different. The drive file name refers to a ko file name of the Nvidia closed-source drive, and the library file path comprises a path of an OpenGL library file on which the Nvidia closed-source drive depends and a path of a binary bin file.
And finally, sorting the modified file set into an installation package, for example, packaging the installation package into a deb package, so as to obtain the compatible installation package of the Nvidia closed-source drive. For the acquired installation file of each Nvidia closed-source driver, the installation file of each Nvidia closed-source driver can be converted into a compatible installation package by executing the above-described steps S61 to S65.
After the acquired installation file (. Run file) of each Nvidia closed source driver is converted into the compatible installation package of each Nvidia closed source driver, the compatible installation package of each Nvidia closed source driver is operated in the computer equipment, so that a plurality of Nvidia closed source drivers can be compatibly installed in the same system, and thus, a first video card driver library can be constructed and obtained.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, a manner of modifying the drive file name and the library file path is not limited. For example, the modified library file path may adopt a uniformly designated root directory under which all library files driven by different versions are covered, and the library files driven by different versions under the root directory have independent directories.
In one example, it is assumed that for an Nvidia closed source driver 300, the installation file for acquiring the Nvidia closed source driver is 300.Run; and for the Nvidia closed source driver 400, acquiring that the installation file of the Nvidia closed source driver is 400.Run. Since the drive file names after 300.Run and 400.Run installation are the same (e.g., xx. Ko), the library file paths after installation are also the same (e.g., xx/GL/and xx/bin), resulting in 300.Run and 400.Run installation conflicts. Therefore, for 300.run, the embodiment of the present application runs 300.run under the root ue minor system of the working path, and obtains a file set of all files generated by running 300.run; modifying the source code in the file set to modify the ko file name to xx _300.Ko, modifying the OpenGL library file path to xx/GL/nv/300/, modifying the binary bin file path to xx/bin/nv/300/, and finally arranging the modified file set into a mounting package, such as 300.Deb. Similarly, for 400.Run, the embodiment of the present application runs 400.Run under the root ue mini-system of the working path, and obtains a file set of all files generated by running 400. Run; modifying the source code in the file set to modify the ko file name to xx _400.Ko, modifying the OpenGL library file path to xx/GL/nv/400/, modifying the binary bin file path to xx/bin/nv/400/, and finally arranging the modified file set into a mounting package, such as 400.Deb.
Thus, the Nvidia closed source driver 300 and the Nvidia closed source driver 400 can be compatibly installed in the same system by running 300.deb and 400.deb. After 300.deb and 400.deb are run in the system of the computer device, the first video card driver library includes the Nvidia closed source driver 300 and the Nvidia closed source driver 400.
Illustratively, after 300.deb is run, the library file path of the OpenGL library with the drive file names xx _300.Ko, xx _300.Ko dependent on the drive file names xx _300.Ko, and xx _300.Ko dependent on the binary bin file is xx/GL/nv/300/. Assuming that the computer device receives the reconfiguration drive request, reads the number information of the graphics card in the PCI slot, and determines that the graphics card is an Nvidia graphics card according to the number information, a drive version list adapted to the graphics card is obtained by searching the drive information entry table, and assuming that both the Nvidia closed-source drive 300 and the Nvidia closed-source drive 400 are adapted to the graphics card, the obtained drive version list includes the version number of the Nvidia closed-source drive 300 and the version number of the Nvidia closed-source drive 400, so that the displayed preset interface may display the version number of the Nvidia closed-source drive 300 and the version number of the Nvidia closed-source drive 400. Assuming that a version number of the Nvidia closed source driver 300 selected by the user is received, the configuration data in the configuration file may be updated to the configuration data of the Nvidia closed source driver 300. The configuration data of the Nvidia closed-source driver 300 includes the driver file name of the Nvidia closed-source driver 300 is xx _300.Ko, the library file path of the open GL library which is xx _300.Ko dependent is xx/GL/nv/300/, the library file path of the binary bin file which is xx _300.Ko dependent is xx/bin/nv/300/, and so on. The next time the computer device is started, the Nvidia closed source driver 300 can be automatically loaded according to the updated configuration file, thereby realizing switching the default graphics card driver to the Nvidia closed source driver 300.
It is understood that the Nvidia closed source driver, the driver file name, and the library file path in the above example are only exemplary illustrations.
According to the embodiment of the application, the installation files of different Nvidia closed-source drivers are converted into the compatible installation package, so that a plurality of Nvidia closed-source drivers can be compatibly installed in the same system, and dynamic switching between the Nvidia closed-source drivers of different versions can be achieved. In addition, the installation file (such as a run file) of the Nvidia closed source driver is packaged into a single installation package (such as a deb package) in the embodiment of the application, so that the installation and uninstallation operations of a user are facilitated.
In an optional embodiment, the graphics card driver switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application is mainly managed by two programs, which illustratively include an automatic adaptation program and a graphics card dynamic management program.
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic overall flow chart of a graphics card drive switching method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 3, when the computer device detects that the graphics card is replaced, the auto-adapter program is started, and the auto-adapter program detects the type of the replaced graphics card. If the automatic adaptation program detects that the type of the replaced display card is the Nvidia display card, searching the Nvidia closed source driver adapted to the replaced display card in a driving information entry table to obtain a driving version list; and if the acquired drive version list is not empty, inquiring the first display card drive library based on the drive version list, determining the installed Nvidia closed source drive in the drive version list, and if the number of the installed Nvidia closed source drives in the drive version list is greater than 1, setting the Nvidia closed source drive with the maximum version number as a default display card drive. If the automatic adaptation program detects that the type of the replaced display card is a non-Nvidia display card, the automatic adaptation program does not process the display card, and the display card is directly sent to the display card dynamic management program to take over processing.
And starting a dynamic display card management program after the automatic adaptation program detects that the type of the replaced display card is a non-Nvidia display card. The dynamic management program of the display card detects the number information of the replaced display card and judges whether the current default display card drive is matched with the number information of the replaced display card, if so, the current default display card drive is kept unchanged; if the current default display card driver is not matched with the serial number information of the replaced display card, searching a non-Nvidia display card driver matched with the serial number information of the replaced display card in a second display card driver library, and setting the non-Nvidia display card driver matched with the serial number information of the replaced display card as the default display card driver.
After the default display card driver is set, if the user is not satisfied with the default display card driver automatically configured by the system, a reconfiguration drive request can be triggered by executing reconfiguration drive operation. And after receiving the reconfiguration drive request, the computer equipment starts an automatic adaptation program, and at the moment, the automatic adaptation program queries a drive information entry table to obtain a drive version list, also queries the first video card drive library based on the drive version list, determines the installed Nvidia closed-source drive in the drive version list, and obtains the version number of the Nvidia closed-source drive which can be selected by a user in a preset interface. And the automatic adaptation program responds to the reconfiguration drive request and displays a preset interface, wherein the preset interface displays the version number of the optional Nvidia closed-source drive. And after the user selects and confirms from the preset interface, the preset interface returns the selection result of the user to the automatic adaptation program, and the automatic adaptation program sets default display card drive according to the selection result of the user. Specifically, the automatic adaptation program determines the target driver according to the selection result of the user, and updates the configuration data in the configuration file to the configuration data of the target driver. At this time, the automatic adapter program finishes its own task, and then is transferred to the display card dynamic management program for processing, and the display card dynamic management program realizes the loading of the target driver, thereby finishing the switching process of the target driver.
In the embodiment of the application, for the target driver to be switched, the automatic adaptation program can be used for updating the configuration file according to the configuration data of the target driver, the dynamic management program of the display card can be used for taking the configuration file into effect, and the corresponding target driver is loaded according to the configuration file.
Further, the dynamic display card management program may include the following two parts: a display drive switching program and a display drive selector. The display driver switching program and the display driver selector are in associated interaction, the display driver switching program is used for reading the number information of the display card in the PCI slot, the display driver selector can be regarded as a selection switch and used for selecting from all installed display card drivers in the computer equipment, and the display card driver currently selected by the display driver selector is the default display card driver. All installed graphics drivers in the computer device may include a graphics driver in the first graphics driver library, a graphics driver in the second graphics driver library, and an Nvidia open source driver.
After the display drive switching program reads the number information of the display card in the PCI slot, the number information read by the display drive switching program is compared with the display card drive selected by the display drive selector, if the number information read by the display drive switching program is matched with the display card drive, the current selection of the display drive selector is kept unchanged, and otherwise, the selection of the display drive selector is switched to the display card drive matched with the number information of the display card in the PCI slot.

Further, the automatic adaptation program and the display card dynamic management program are background running programs. In addition, the display card dynamic management program is further configured to detect whether the computer device includes a plurality of display cards, and determine which display card driver of the display card should be started when it is determined that the computer device includes the plurality of display cards.
