Re: Nvidia driver not working

The

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

part is gonna be important, but xinitrc is only used by startx/xinit and XDM - not by most DMs and the "modestting" provider will only be correct if you're not using xf86-video-intel

Re: Nvidia driver not working

You need to keep the i915 modules unblacklisted, the nvidia card needs the intel card as a relay

Re: Nvidia driver not working

Post a xorg log and all files you've created in an attempt to configure this.
