Issue with NVIDIA Driver

Hi

I've a NVIDIA Quadro M500M in my new Lenovo.
I tried to switch from the Mesa Intel driver to the nvidia from arch repo.
Now the x server start with this error message:

"Plasma is unable to start as it could not correctly use OpenGL2.
Please check that your graphics driver are setup correctly"

All the other Applications runs.

thanks

Re: Issue with NVIDIA Driver

Please provide which nVidia driver you are using. Proprietary or open source? Exact version?

Provide xorg logs, they might be helpful.

Read the ArchWiki nVidia page as well to ensure you set things up correctly.

What is the output of these two commands:

pacman -Qq | grep nvidia

and

pacman -Qq | grep xf86-video
