[SOLVED] startx produces black screen with nvidia

Hello,

I'm on a personal pc.

Specs:
Nvidia 3090
Dell U-Series 38"
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

When I try to load an awesomewm with startx I get a black screen, I suspect there is smth wrong with nvidia, but I need your help.

tried to set

sysctl -w nvidia-drm.modeset=1

But it says

sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/nvidia-drm/modeset: No such file or directory

tried "Prepend "xrandr --auto" to your xinitrc"
no effect

tried "You can also try to add the nvidia module directly to your mkinitcpio.conf." from the help
no effect or I did it wrong

Thank you
Ivan

.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then







    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then







    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f

Re: [SOLVED] startx produces black screen with nvidia

That .xinitrc isn't right. After the first exec, the script doesn't run anything else, so you're trying to run twm/xclock/xterm, not awesome.

Thanks, tried to comment out the first exec, but no luck

The first exec isn't enough. If that's all you did, you're trying to run both twm and awesome, that's not going to work.

hmm, commented out everything after the if block
only the "exec awesome" left untouched, same result.

Re: [SOLVED] startx produces black screen with nvidia

Are there any errors in ~/.xsession-errors?

Do you have a rc file set up in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua?

Re: [SOLVED] startx produces black screen with nvidia

I forgot about rc.lua, but it wasn't the solution too. But thanks.

I spent quite some time fixing it and just decided to reinstall arch and it works now.

I just installed nvidia package, without other nvidia packages, without generating xconfig.
Made rc.lua and proper xinitrc too.

Thank you
