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.

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.

@Alexey104, have you added anything to /etc/default/grub or anywhere else? nouveau is OK, except that I can't play TORCS at all :(

@lu9dce, @silent, That's strange, I'm running LTS with this driver without any problems, GTX770.

Does not work with kernel 6.12.12-1-lts

For example, if you use Google Chrome, it now runs at 1fps per second when testing https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html

I installed the new driver and now it no longer works even with my LTS kernel: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 710] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

@all: hey, great news, indeed ! The whole merit belongs to @joanbm who invested so much of his precious time in the patches he gifted us in the last 5 years ! So big THANK YOU, Joan and to all the other contributors !!

Does anyone has some additional changes to add in the package or we can release the version 8 ?
