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.

@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.

Alexey104 commented on 2025-02-05 09:58 (UTC)

@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.

silent commented on 2025-02-05 09:51 (UTC)

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

Alexey104 commented on 2025-02-05 09:09 (UTC)

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

lu9dce commented on 2025-02-05 08:38 (UTC)

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.
