[SOLVED] nvidia-340xx driver: black screen after installation

I'm installing a driver on a desktop computer and I'm having problems.
I install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-340xx-dkms
After that, I created a config with nvidia-xconfig, here it is:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 340.108  (buildmeister@swio-display-x64-rhel04-01)  Wed Dec 11 15:13:33 PST 2019

I tried blacklisting nouveau and removing kms from the HOOKS array mkinitcpio.conf and nothing works

I'm here with the exact same issue, found this thread via google search and all we get is "figured out, it now works!".

Yeah, but how?

Re: [SOLVED] nvidia-340xx driver: black screen after installation

Remove whatever config you generated with nvidia-xconfig if you did use that and remove the kms hook from your mkinicpio.conf as stated in step 5 of https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation and regenerate your initramfs.  Also make sure the -headers (e.g. linux-headers) package is installed as that is a prerequisite for the dkms package to build the kernel module.
