From the official k a l i driver support page (http://docs.k a l i.org/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-k a l i-linux) I've found a few more things that could be useful in our troubleshooting...
First of all, in that page, the gpu driver is then checked running hashcat's benchmark, so this is just our case(get hashcat works).
The SW packages that(according to the guide) are installed in order to get gpu works(with hashcat)are:
open ICD driver
Nvidia driver
Cuda toolkit
It's recommended to disable nouveau driver too(the native nvidia open driver in Linux distros) but with the lasts proprietary Nvidia drivers release(during installation)the nouveau is automatically blacklisted and disabled so no worry about that.
Coming to our situation, till now i've tried to run hashcat only with driver and openCL installed and the things went always bad(hashcat doesn't works).
So I'm wondering: how about install prop Nvidia driver+icd without openCL(like the guide said)?
In fact, at the moment, the openCL is the one who results more problem causing, since it is not supported by k a l i (at least from the version 2016.2 kernel 4.6 that I'm running)and I think this(unsupported openCL) prevents hashcat to work properly.
At the end of the story: if that guide is written correctly, hashcat should properly works only by installing proprietary Nvidia driver+icd+toolkit(this last could be avoided I think).
That's all the infos I got about hashcat+gpu driver installation.
Not tested yet.
Please feel free to share your opinion and correct me in case something is wrong
