[SOLVED] NVIDIA 470xx drivers with GT 710

Hi everyone!

This is my first post here - hope I'm not doing anything wrong...

Anyways, I'm having a problem with the NVIDIA drivers... neutral
My graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 710. Reading the wiki and following this table I've discovered that my card is from the Kepler series, and so I've installed the 

nvidia-470xx-dkms

package. Running 

nvidia-smi

results in the following output:

I've also digged a bit trough the systemd journal with 

journalctl

finding the following charming message:

kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 GPU installed in this system is
        NVRM:  supported through the NVIDIA 470.xx Legacy drivers. Please
        NVRM:  visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
        NVRM:  information.  The 510.54 NVIDIA driver will ignore
        NVRM:  this GPU.  Continuing probe...

And so I've no idea what's going on.
Other mixed notes:

  • I use 

    paru

    instead of 

    pacman

  • I was using the Nouveau drivers before, the only thing I've done is uninstalling the package and rebooting.

  • There is no 

    /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    and using 

    nvidia-xconfig

    didn't help.

Thanks in advance! smile

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA 470xx drivers with GT 710

Maybe driver blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d ?
Try 'DRM kernel mode setting' and 'Early loading'.

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA 470xx drivers with GT 710

The journal shows 510.54 while nvidia-smi shows 470.129.06.  Are both those outputs from the same boot?
What nvidia packages are currently installed?

pacman -Qs nvidia

Seems there is a config file doing some configuration

The only thing in /etc/modprobe.d is alsa.conf, with some configuration about audio device selection.

Yup, should be.

Didn't notice before the version of nvidia-settings - should I instead install nvidia-470xx-settings? I'm not even sure if it's needed, as I doubt it does any configuration 'passively', just by being installed...

Should I change 

Driver "nouveau"

to 

Driver "nvidia"

?
