+# Rust-based vgpu\_unlock
+
+Unlock vGPU functionality for consumer-grade NVIDIA GPUs.
+
+**This tool is to be used with the kernel patches from the main
+[`vgpu_unlock`](https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock) repository!**
+
+## Dependencies
+
+* This tool requires Rust. You can install it via your package manager or via
+  [](https://rustup.rs).
+* Rust requires a linker to be installed to be able to create the shared
+  library. Typically, this is installed with the C compiler through your
+  distribution's package manager.
+* The dependencies from the main `vgpu_unlock` project excluding Python and
+  `frida`.
+
+## Installation
+
+In the following instructions `<path_to_vgpu_unlock_rs>` needs to be replaced
+with the path to this repository on the target system.
+
+Install the NVIDIA vGPU driver and kernel driver patches as detailed in the
+main `vgpu_unlock` project README. Ignore the steps regarding editing the
+systemd service unit files.
+
+Run `cargo build --release` to compile the shared library.
+
+Create the directories `/etc/systemd/system/nvidia-vgpud.service.d` and
+`/etc/systemd/system/nvidia-vgpu-mgr.service.d`.
+
+Create the files `/etc/systemd/system/nvidia-vgpud.service.d/vgpu_unlock.conf`
+and `/etc/systemd/system/nvidia-vgpu-mgr.service.d/vgpu_unlock.conf`
+with the following:
+```
+[Service]
+Environment=LD_PRELOAD=<path_to_vgpu_unlock_rs>/target/release/libvgpu_unlock_rs.so
+```
+
+Create the directory `/etc/vgpu_unlock` which will house the vGPU profile
+override configuration file.
+
+Create the file `/etc/vgpu_unlock/profile_override.toml` with the profile
+fields that are to be overridden. The following is an example that sets
+the number of heads to 1, sets the framebuffer to be 1920x1080 (1920 * 1080
+= 2073600 pixels), enables CUDA, and disables the frame-rate limiter.
+
+```toml
+num_displays = 1
+display_width = 1920
+display_height = 1080
+max_pixels = 2073600
+cuda_enabled = 1
+frl_enabled = 0
+```
+
+Happy hacking!
