I am hardware related topics newbie. I try to install NVidia GPU Open and it complains about missing firmware.
My GPU is:
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce MX350] (rev a1)
Does Semi Open Source Drivers support my GPU? How to configure this?

I found this page: SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE Wiki . There is text: G04 = driver v390 = legacy driver (Fermi devices) . My is 350 (If I am correct), so I must use legacy driver, perhaps. Is legacy driver means close-source?

The linked article explains that the open drivers are for Fermi devices upwards. You have a Pascal.
And if you follow the link in the SDB to the NVIDIA driver site, you will see that your MX350M is supported by the G06 drivers.
The links in the article explain that you need to install kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06
if you want to use the open drivers.

According the Nvidia site your card needs the G06 drivers but is not supported by the open drivers.
Remember to not miss the mok key when you get G06 installed properly…

Wait a minute. Hui probably was told my GPU is unsupported by GPU-Open. Have I right. If not, how to sign/add mokkey? mokutil -i /path/to/key?

This is described in the linked SDB.

Thanks. I will try today. It is seriously supported. I got, thanks to inxi, it is Pascal:
Graphics:
Device-1: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce MX350] vendor: ASUSTeK driver: nvidia v: 550.135
alternate: nouveau,nvidia_drm non-free: 550.xx+ status: current (as of 2024-09; EOL~2026-12-xx)
arch: Pascal code: GP10x process: TSMC 16nm built: 2016-2021 pcie: gen: 1 speed: 2.5 GT/s
lanes: 4 link-max: gen: 3 speed: 8 GT/s lanes: 16 bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:1c96
class-ID: 0302
Find supported Turing/Ampere/Hopper GPUs here. Check with inxi -aG. Use hwinfo --gfxcard on SLE.
Pascal is not a Turing/Ampere/Hopper, I think.

When you click on the link in your cited sentence you get the supported devices. Yours is to old…
