Nvidia driver failing (GeForce 940M)

Hello,

So I just installed arch on my new laptop (asus zenbook ux303lb) and so far the only problem I am facing is with the nvidia geforce 940M.

What I did is I installed the latest nvidia driver along with the opengl libraries using

pacman -S nvidia nvidia-libgl

I have screenfetch installed so right after I log in I am presented with this (sorry for rudimentary picture)

It seems like the gpu is detected at the beginning, but after a second screenfetch, the GPU line disappears.

Im sure there must be a log somewhere but I don't know where.

I believe that laptop has an onboard Intel graphics as well. If that's the case then you need to read this...

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

I have the same problem with the M940 on my UX303.

I tried Bumblebee but when it switches to the Nvidia graphic card, the graphic card fan starts spinning at its highest speed and nothing happened. At the end, I need to reboot the system to stop that crazy fan speed and graphic card overheating.

I also tried Optimus to run the xorg session with the Nvidia graphic card but again the same issue I mentioned above.

Graphic card works fine on Windows though.
