Hello,

I'm trying to get CUDA working on a system running Devuan. The GPU should support it:

$ nvidia-detect 
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] [10de:0e22] (rev a1)

Checking card:  NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] (rev a1)
Your card is supported by all driver versions.
It is recommended to install the
    nvidia-driver
package.

nvidia-driver version 384.130-1 is installed.

But something seems to be missing:

# nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

When rebooting the system I got messages about nvidia-current-modeset and nvidia-current-drm not being in /lib/modules/4.9.0-6-amd64 (I had to pause the boot with control-S, write them down, then control-Q to continue the boot). Similar messages come from:

# modprobe nvidia
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia-current not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.0-6-amd64
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:977 command_do() Error running install command for nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Operation not permitted

What packages provide nvidia-current-modeset and nvidia-current-drm?

Chris
