nvidia not work

Hello, 
I tried to install the driver for my graphics card (GT 710) and followed the Wiki. I used nvidia-470xx-dkms from AUR. Then, I removed kms from the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. I manually created the image with the following command: 
mkinitcpio -p linux 
After that, I checked the kernel to ensure CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=y was set correctly, and also enabled modeset=1. Additionally, I installed the kernel headers, but I still get a black screen when connecting the monitor to the graphics card. My distribution is Arch with GNOME, and the kernel version is 6.10.6-arch1-1.

Re: nvidia not work

Did the module actually build when you installed nvidia-470xx-dkms?

How can I ensure this?

Re: nvidia not work

dkms status

should show the module being installed for the kernel you're currently using. Generally make sure you used the kernel cmdline for the modeset option, not the modprobe config, since the kernel parameter will have the additional effect of disabling the simpledrm device.

Other than that, if you have a way to get to a terminal, post the link you get from

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
