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.

The majority of patches used in this package are provided by Joan Bruguera to whom we owe a tremendous depth of gratitude !

There is also the repository shared by phobos1641, where he has gathered all the patches that work for his configuration.

Builds successfully on linux-7.1.2-arch2-1. Seems to behave perfectly on a GT 740 GDDR3.

Issues: e.g. lightdm does NOT start. lxdm is working !???

Does anybody know why this happens ? How can one resolve this ?

After upgrading from nvidia-470xx-utils 470.256.02-8.01 to nvidia-470xx-utils 470.256.02-8.02 the system could successfully build and install the driver.

I get the same error as it is shown in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2297007

@aur4mw: I'm not sure I understand what issue you are having; maybe you can provide some logs ?

aur4mw commented on 2026-05-20 08:54 (UTC)

For kernel 7.0.9 I get the error described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2297007
