 NOTES (quoted from the Nvidia driver README)
 
-"The open flavor of kernel modules supports Turing, Ampere, and
-forward.  The open kernel modules cannot support GPUs before Turing,
-because the open kernel modules depend on the GPU System Processor
-(GSP) first introduced in Turing.
+"The open flavor of kernel modules supports Turing and later GPUs. The
+open kernel modules cannot support GPUs before Turing, because the open
+kernel modules depend on the GPU System Processor (GSP) first
+introduced in Turing.
 
 "Most features of the Linux GPU driver are supported with the open
 flavor of kernel modules, including CUDA, Vulkan, OpenGL, OptiX, and
-X11.  However, in the current release, some display and graphics
-features (notably: G-SYNC, Quadro Sync, SLI, Stereo, rotation in X11,
-and YUV 4:2:0 on Turing), as well as power management, and NVIDIA
-virtual GPU (vGPU), are not yet supported.  These features will be
-added in upcoming driver releases.
+X11.  We eventually intend for the open kernel modules to replace the
+proprietary kernel modules.
 
-"Use of the open kernel modules on GeForce and Workstation GPUs should
-be considered alpha-quality in this release due to the missing features
-listed above."
+"The following features will only work with the open kernel modules
+flavor of the driver:
 
-To use this module on these GPUs, pass GEFORCE=yes to the script.
+   o NVIDIA Confidential Computing
+
+   o Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage (GDS)
+
+   o Heterogeneous Memory Management (HMM)
+
+   o CPU affinity for GPU fault handlers
+
+   o DMABUF support for CUDA allocations
+
+
+"The following features are not yet supported by the open kernel
+modules:
+
+   o G-Sync on notebooks
+
+   o Preserving video memory across power management events
+
+
+Use of the open kernel modules on GeForce and Workstation GPUs should
+be considered Beta quality in this release and no longer requires
+setting of the "NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus" nvidia.ko kernel
+module parameter.  The open kernel modules are suitable for broad
+usage, and NVIDIA requests feedback on any issues encountered that are
+specific to them."
 
 After installation, you will need to reboot your computer for the
 changes to take effect.
+
+I am happy to report that ffmpeg hardware video encoding via h264_nvenc
+and hevc_nvenc now WORKS with this module.
