# Non-Free Drivers
|
||
|
||
## Description
|
||
|
||
This Ansible role installs non-free GPU drivers on Arch Linux systems by invoking the `mhwd` utility. It ensures that the appropriate proprietary drivers for your PCI graphics hardware are installed and ready for use.
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
- Uses the `ansible.builtin.shell` module to run `mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300`
|
||
- Automatically detects your PCI graphics adapter and installs the recommended non-free driver
|
||
- Designed to be run once per host to provision proprietary GPU support
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Automatic Hardware Detection**
|
||
Leverages `mhwd`’s built-in auto-detect feature (`0300`) to select the correct driver.
|
||
|
||
- **Proprietary Driver Installation**
|
||
Installs the latest non-free GPU driver (e.g., NVIDIA, AMD) provided through Arch’s `mhwd` system.
|
||
|
||
- **Simple Execution**
|
||
Single-task role with minimal overhead.
