Arch Linux User Repository

For the beginners in need of assistance, first take a look at this recommended guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide - maybe it helps to solve the issues your are having with this version of the driver.

I solved it by installing an older kernel

6.1.12-arch1-1, the most similar to the one that comes with

Debian, since the 470xx works perfectly on Debian

If the hardware is old, a new kernel is not worth it

It will not add anything to the old hardware

It is understood that it is not a problem with anything else

Neither the kernel nor arch, just that these boards

are old and we have to accept it

working good here

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 I have set options for: /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= "... nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1" /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm) i also have /etc/X11/xorg.conf that was generated in the past using nvidia-setting

tested with: nvidia-smi, War Thunder,cs 2, space engineers, and vintage story I have noted that now I´m able to open nvidia-setting(I wasn´t able to in previous versions)

Thank you SoftExpert, Joan and all the other contributors.

I think it is unrelated but some (vs)mods have had errors loading mono(harmony)shared libraries after full update(just sharing the information in case it became relevant in the future)

Confirmed working on kernel 6.13!

My Lenovo Z500 with a GT 645M seems to work okay, at least as far as vkcube and nvidia-smi are concerned. H264 decoding is also okay with prime-run mpv --hwdec=nvdec.

Keep in mind that Xorg runs on the Intel GPU in this setup.

@all: we are in uncharted waters; the patches we have been so fortunate to receive are just allowing the compiler to finish building the module, but the underlying changes in the kernel will eventually break the compatibility with this version of the driver (different logic, different thread handling, different data structure, etc.).

Also, if I'm not mistaken, this package has never supplied xorg.conf files - for the simple reason that there are too many combinations of parameters that are hardware-specific.

We will try to find the most common options that will work for most of us, but this is not a guarantee ...

It seems that automatic detection of the nvidia driver by Xorg failed because /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf is missing from nvidia-470xx-utils, based on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2160060#p2160060

I just got a system freeze and found this in the journal after reboot:

NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 79, pid=0, GPU has fallen off the bus.
NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: GPU has fallen off the bus.
NVRM: A GPU crash dump has been created. If possible, please run
NVRM: nvidia-bug-report.sh as root to collect this data before
NVRM: the NVIDIA kernel module is unloaded.

I hope it's just a coincidence as it happens right after I non-intentionally touched the PC case with my leg after walking along a carpet, maybe that just was a static shock.

@lu9dce: For me with a low end card, the aquarium is ok with Firefox, 60fps with 1000 fish.But with Chrome it is indeed only 1-3fps.

I tried adding the entries to /etc/default/grub and to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, but that did not help, I still had only VESA. I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Screen1" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Now I have nvidia with FHD with both kernels, and I can tweak the performance with nvidia-settings. But the performance is very bad as compared to the previous driver, I can't play TORCS.

@silent, Yes, I have GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nvidia_drm.modeset=1" in /etc/default/grub and I also have the following modules in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf: nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm.
