Display issue after installing nvidia drivers
I have made a fresh install of arch on my PC. The first thing I did was installed the NVIDIA drivers, however as soon as I install them two of my monitors stop working, and one of them still works but at a very low resolution. I have not installed any window manager etc, I would like to use the command line for now. I have tried reinstalling and using different nvidia drivers (nvidia, nvidia-340xx, nvidia-390xx) as well as many other combinations of related packages suggested, but still no luck. I have one GTX 960, which has three displays attached, and one GT 1030 with no displays attached. I have no iGPU. Before installing the nvidia drivers, all three displays showed the command line at full resolution, which is the behaviour I want. I've tried everything I can find on the wiki and various forums, as well as reinstalling multiple times, but nothing helped, and I am out of ideas.
The GT 1030 exists for pass through, it doesn't need to do anything. I tried assigning vfio-pci to it before and after nvidia driver installation, but both attempts just caused the monitors to stop entirely.
To be clear, xorg is not running

As for the pass through on the console, idk, but i wouldn't hold my breath either :-(
