[SOLVED] Getty is Unseeable after Installing Nvidia Drivers

Okay, I have installed Arch on a computer with a Nvidia Geforce 1050 GPU. Initially, when I used the nouveau drivers everything worked normally. However once I installed the proprietary Nvidia driver, getty stopped being visible. Getty still does work and whatnot -- I just have to enter my login credentials and from there type 'startx' to get back to i3.

I ran journalctl -xe and nothing appeared to be off: 

[jerry@jerry ~]$ journalctl -x

I definitely know that this isn't the best way to check the nvidia driver's status. So can somebody push me in the right direction into not only fixing this, but to self diagnose these types of issues in the future?

Re: [SOLVED] Getty is Unseeable after Installing Nvidia Drivers

Alternatively, or if you aren't using GRUB, enable KMS by adding nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to your kernel parameters or an appropriate line in /etc/modprobe.d

Nope, tried both methods. Neither method worked.

I'm not sure, this is a desktop system that has both the iGPU (Intel HD Graphics) and the dedicated GPU (GeForce 1050) enabled.

EDIT: turns out that kernel was not loading in the nvidia driver during start. Simply adding 

nvidia

along with 

nvidia-drm.modeset=1

into kernel parameters fixes this.
