Some extra info:
It seems for this old card (9400M), Nvidia recommends driver 340 on their
PPA.
Of course, ubuntu recommends the wrong (390) version to be installed, and
there is no alarm or anything during the process...
Anyway, I think this is it: might need to switch to a newer card...
XTRX with gr-fosphor also works, just needed to add an extra ARG to the
command line:
osmocom_fft -a xtrx -A RXW -s 4000000 -f 804000000 -F
Thanks again for the help!

Hi Sylvain,
I reverted to the version 340 nvidia (proprietary) driver, and now it
works with the "gr3.7-qt5" branch and an rtl-sdr radio. I did not needed to
revert anything on the gr-fosphor side.
However with the XTRX it outputs nothing (starts up properly, no error
messages whatsoever, device initialization seems to be fine).
I attached the clinfo output of the working nvidia driver, you might be
able to find something in it. The XTRX side of thing is likely something
irrelevant to gr-fosphor, as they still not merged XTRX support to
gr-osmosdr, I need to use their fairly old gr-osmosdr fork from 2017. The
only question is where can I get a hold of them, as I was ot able to find a
public forum, or mail list or anything in regards of XTRX...
Non the less, thanks for the help, and if you find something driver-wise
on the Nvidia/OpenCL side and want me to test something, I am happy to do
it.
Regards,
Csaba

Hi,
I attached the clinfo output about the version
and capabilities of my
hardware. Other than this, I am using the proprietary nvidia
driver for
linux (version 390) with kernel 4.15.0-62-generic, and gnuradio
3.7.13.5~gnuradio~bionic-4.
Sure but you said you used fosphor previously on that machine. My
question was about the versions you were using back then, not the ones
you are running now.
I tried to find that commit you are referring to,
but it seems it is no
in the git log (or at least I cannot find it). Can you take a
look if it is
correct?
Err sorry it's 306f197108d1a264bebea9f96ac22fa084d402fb
Cheers,
