Nvidia Module Loading

Hello,


I run Archlinux fine with an nvidia card. Everything is find except I have to load the module 'nvidia' at each startup.

I've tried to add the module in a file : /etc/modules-load.d/nvidia.conf

But the module isn't load at startup.

Anyone knows how to load that module at startup ?

Thanks !

Olivier.

Like I wrote, I've already tried the modules-load.d way. No luck but thanks anyway.

Re: Nvidia Module Loading

Have you blacklisted it in modprobe.d?

Re: Nvidia Module Loading

Okay, can you post the outputs of:

systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
cat /etc/modules-load.d/*
lspci | grep "VGA "
modinfo nvidia
cat /etc/modprobe.d/*

Re: Nvidia Module Loading

I think I need to resurrect that thread, because I have the same problem. Only manually loading the nvidia module makes it work.

Not quite, I load it via kernel commandline (which should work according to systemd man page):

$ cat /proc/cmdline

As far as I can tell, all looks fine. Still, nvidia isn't loaded and I have to manually run 

modprobe nvidia

before starting X after booting. Any ideas?
I'm that close to writing a simple shell script I run on boot that will modprobe nvidia (... if /proc/cmdline contains the appropriate parameter). But I dislike that, since it's kinda a workaround for some deeper problem :-/

Re: Nvidia Module Loading

I have the same issue. I think this may be preventing bumblebee from working correctly...

Additionally, the output of

I'm quite sure it isn't blacklisted in the usual place. Question is where is it blacklisted then?
