I have to install the Nvidia driver on on development systems because I am
doing some programming with CUDA.  I use the CUDA Toolkit in C/C++.  I am
converting some of the software over to OpenACC.  OpenACC has it own
compilers but CUDA requires the non-free driver because the tools
communication to the driver with the APIs.

Regards,

Efrem Mc
