ERROR: module not found: `nvidia_390xx'

thommen · 2021-10-18 13:19:28

I did

nvidia-390xx-utils nvidia-390xx-settings

In file

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

I have

MODULES=(nvidia_390xx)

I make

mkinitcpio -P linux

and I have

==> ERROR: module not found: `nvidia_390xx'

What should be the correct module name?

Edit: your GPUs should™ still be covered by the main driver?

I tried "nvidia". Also shows that this module is missing.

nvidia-390xx-utils nvidia-390xx-settings

Because they don't provide the kernel module, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-dkms/
But again: I'd think your GPUs are covered by the main driver.

Ah, crap - it's the quadro code…
Sorry, you're right. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-dkms/ then.

I do not understand what you're asking. Can you explain your question to me?

Disregard that, I falsely assumed that you could just use https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia/

Arch Linux
