Problems adding nvidia proprietary drivers to initrd file

[ravas]

It seems like that can be more easily accomplished with:
**yast2 > Boot Loader > Kernel Parameters > Console resolution

**
Either way, it seems that the nvidia modules don’t need to be part of the initial ramdisk for that to work.

Kernel modesetting is not what gives you a high resolution console. That’s a misconception that’s been around forever. The high-res console still uses, as it always has, fbdev. It’s just that open source KMS drivers typically have fbdev compatibility in them. But the Nvidia proprietary driver does not. So no high-res console until Nvidia codes fbdev compatibility into their driver.

Kernel mode setting does not work in CONSOLE mode under linux

However, I did verify that adding

force_drivers+="*nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm*"

to /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf
then running dracut -f does add them:

lsinitrd | grep nvidia

nvidia-drm.modeset=1
in the kernel parameters seems to work according to

cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
