  481. Low-level Nvidia interrogation returns the same result as the high-level optirun: Nvidia is OFF. Perfect.

  532. Nvidia is forced from ON to OFF by low-level, manual tweak. Both low- and high-level interrogations return OFF. Good.
  534. 4. Nvidia modules unload
  536. When optirun turns Nvidia ON, it loads three modules in the memory:
  538. - nvidia_drm
  539. - nvidia_modeset
  540. - nvidia
  542. When optirun exits, it must automatically unload them. So a manual attempt to unload them must fail. Is that true?

  558. Yes, it's true. Nvidia is turned OFF, all its modules are unloaded. Good.
  560. All low-level, rigorous tests are successfully passed. Good.
  564. All tests are finished.
  566. Nvidia-installer-0.0.8 has passed all tests and checks, without any exclusion. For me, it is ready to be pushed into Production.
