1. Install the Linux kernel header

My kali Linux version is 2018.1, and different versions have different kernel headers. To install kernel headers according to the actual version of your installation, you can use uname-a to see what your kernel version is. The installation commands are as follows:

``C++

Apt install linux-headers-4.14.0-kali3-amd64 linux-headers-4.14.0-kali3-common linux-headers-4.14.0-kali3-all

# # 2. Disable the open source video card driver nouveau

The disabled commands are as follows:

``C++

Root@chaojun:~$ echo-e "blacklist nouveau\ noptions nouveau modeset=0\ nalias nouveau off" > / etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

Root@chaojun:~$ update-initramfs-u & & reboot

After the above operation, the open source graphics card driver is disabled, to be on the safe side, it is important to make sure that the following disable is successful. You can view it using the following command:

``C++

Root@chaojun:~$ lsmod | grep-I nouveau

If there is no output from executing the above command, it proves that the open source video card driver nouveau has been successfully disabled.

# # 3. Download the official NVIDA driver

Go to the official website of NVIDA to download the driver http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us of the corresponding model. Note that you have to choose the version corresponding to the hardware model of your graphics card, otherwise it will fail.

Click SEARCH and you can see the DOWNLOAD button. Click download.

# # 4. Installation

After downloading the video card driver file of NVIDA, use the chmod aquix NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98.run command to give the driver executable permission. Then use the. / NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98.run command to install. During installation, you will be prompted with a warning and select yes for all.

# # 5. Configuration

The most important part comes after installation, and you must configure it to let kali Linux know which graphics card driver you are using, otherwise the boot will fail. Execute nvidia-xconfig-- query-gpu-info | grep 'BusID:' | cut-d''- f6 to view the BusID. My display is as follows: PCI:1:0:0. This information is used to configure the following files. The configuration steps are as follows:

# 5.1. / etc/X11/xorg.confvi / etc/X11/xorg.conf enter the following information: ````c++Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout" Screen 0 "nvidia" Inactive "intel" EndSectionSection "Device" Identifier "nvidia" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSectionSection "Screen" Identifier "nvidia" Device "nvidia" Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" EndSectionSection Device "Identifier" intel "Driver" modesetting "EndSectionSection" Screen Identifier "intel" Device "Device" Device
