I am trying to get my new card working with Debian 12. I’ve downloaded, compiled, and installed the 575.64.05 driver for Linux. Here’s the error I am getting in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The NVIDIA GPU at PIC:1:0:0 is not supported by the 575.65.05
(EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): NVIDIA driver.

According to the ‘lspci’ command:
$ lspci | grep 1.00.0
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 2c05 (rev a1)

According to the README.txt file this cared should be supported:
$ grep -i 2c05 /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README.txt
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 2C05 K

When I use the modprobe command to check which PCI IDs are supported, I am not seeing my card listed. As a matter of fact, I am only seeing 3 PCI addresses in the output.

kernel version is 6.1.0 (64 bit)

The package libglvnd-dev is installed.

First, it’s almost impossible to help you until you include a bug report file.

This is a totally wild guess without the above, but maybe you are using proprietary drivers instead of open.

Mind you, this was released back in 2022… There are newer kernels available in the official backports repos (like 6.12). Generally however I’d recommend updating to Debian-13 (you can then use Nvidia driver repos for Debian-12: they just work).

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I had chosen the proprietary driver. Once I selected the open source version everything started working. Thank you.
