GeForce GTX 560 Ti stopped working

Hi!

My "GeForce GTX 560 Ti" stopped working after the last update even though I didn't see it on the legacy driver list (http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html) and it still is listed on the "supported products" list of the "latest short lived branch 343.22 " (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverRe … 7844/en-us)

After uninstalling the normal nvidia driver and installing nvidia-304xx instead, it works again.

Uhm... what's going on?

thx.

Post your Xorg logs with newer drivers.
Eventually, ask nvidia why it is not supported anymore.

I don't get it, I have a Geforce GTX 560 TI

lpci |grep NVIDIA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX 560 Ti] (rev a1)

pacman -Qs nvidia:
local/nvidia 343.22-2

and it works without problems...

Hmm...  guess I was thrown off track by the coinciding nvidia news there...

Didn't see it because it's not in the logs and when I use xorgs auto-detect I'm getting no errors at all (it just uses vga or something instead), but when I do everything manually and try to force nvidia for the display, I'm getting a "modprobe: could not insert 'nvidia' invalid argument"

Checked if the mirror I updated from is ok: other mirrors have the same versions... linux + nvidia module are both up to date... deinstalling + reinstalling changed nothing...  so... *shrug*

weird...

Re: GeForce GTX 560 Ti stopped working

Not sure if this is related but I've had issues after upgrading just linux, linux-headers and nvidia through pacman.

I actually see my login manager but it fails to log in to i3. Also when I try and see the text consoles from other ttys (not sure what the proper terminology is), my monitor turns red after ~3 seconds or so.

This problem I solved by installing nvidia-libgl=343.22. I believe there is a missing (misconfigured?) dependency in the nvidia package.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I hope this helps.
