[SOLVED] Xorg is probably broken and won't use nvidia

Hello!
I'm like 1 week old with arch, and I probably messed up my graphics. It still works, but its just weird. For example it won't use my NVIDIA card.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg is probably broken and won't use nvidia

Remove the xorg.conf. If this is an Optimus system with an actual bumblebee setup then the nvidia will only be used by explicit optirun invocations.

In any case try to think whether you actually really want to use bumblebee by reading about your other available options in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus

I uninstalled bumblebee. Why should I remove xorg.conf? does it not need it?

I see gnome-shell running on the card now.

Also, how can I see if my vulkan drivers are ok or not? War thunder doesn't want to launch (8111000B), and I heard I need to look at my vulkan config.

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg is probably broken and won't use nvidia

No a xorg.conf is not needed and if you generate it for no other reason than to have generated it will often be counter productive

You need lib32-nvidia-utils for most steam relevant vulkan supports, otherwise install he nvidia-prime,mesa-utils,vulkan-tools package and post

glxinfo -B
prime-run glxinfo -B
vulkaninfo --summary
prime-run vulkaninfo --summary

note that a 2GB card is absolute entry level and will very likely not be sufficient to do any real gaming.

Okay. I have a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ called 10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf
content:

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    MatchDriver "i915"
    Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Do I need that, or can I remove it?

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg is probably broken and won't use nvidia

Okay, I fixed it
I uninstalled amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk
I installed vulkan-icd-loader and lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
I restarted, and it worked.
Thanks for the help though!

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg is probably broken and won't use nvidia

You don't need that file either, but it doesn't hurt in the form as present, and yes this happens if you install steam blindly, read your pacman output, it will have given you a selection of vulkan provider that defaults to amdvlk for alphabetic reasons.

Please mark as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post.
