[SOLVED] NVIDIA driver not loading fast enough for X11.

Hi fellow archlinuxers,

Even though I've been using Arch Linux (and Linux for that matter) for a bit, I'm still a newbie, and even though I've found many solutions in this forums, and several other guides from this great community. I've never posted anything before in here.
So, this being my first post ever on this forums, I'm sure, I'll misclassify it and will be missing tons of useful info, so please be gentle.

My issue:
I'm setting up a Linux box for games with retro arch mainly and some other things.
I also use it to render blender stuff, as it has 2 Nvidia cards.

When I just turn the computer on it boots me into lightdm, after I log in if try to do anything 3d related It's obvious that there's no 3d acceleration available as everything stutters.
if I log out, and log in back again, everything works as it's supposed to.

My only theory is there's a problem with the 2 video cards setup, but I can't figure out what's going on, and it's very annoying having to log out and back in every time I turn the computer on.

I'm sure there's some info I've failed to include that might help someone, help me figure this out, but I wouldn't know where to start.


this is the nvidia related stuff I have installed:

local/cuda 11.2.0-3
local/cuda-tools 11.2.0-3
local/egl-wayland 1.1.6-1
local/lib32-nvidia-utils 460.39-1
local/libvdpau 1.4-1
local/libxnvctrl 460.39-1
local/nvidia 460.39-7
local/nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-6
local/nvidia-settings 460.39-1
local/nvidia-utils 460.39-1
local/opencl-nvidia 460.39-1

I'm not sure how useful this is, but this is the output of nvidia-smi, after the initial login:

VisualID 39, 0x27

the only thing clear to me is that on the 1st login it seems to be using the mesa driver and after the 2nd login its picking up the nvidia driver...
no idea why...

Anyone had a similar issue ?

Please help !!!

Heheh.

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA driver not loading fast enough for X11.

Possibly a race between the loading of the Nvidia kernel driver and the start of X11.  Please try Kernel_mode_setting#Early_KMS_start.
If that does not work please post the Xorg.log for both runs of lightdm.

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA driver not loading fast enough for X11.

That was exactly what was going on... ( or at least addressing that did the trick, hehe...)
Thanks a lot loqs.

So, in case somebody else stumbles into this issue, what I ended up doing was:

1.Figuring out the nvidia related modules:

lsmod | grep nvidia

which showed that this:

nvidia_drm
nvidia_modeset
nvidia
drm_kms_helper
drm

2. Adding those modules to my  /etc/mkinitcpio.conf in the MODULES section.

MODULES=(nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia drm_kms_helper drm)

3.Regenerating the initramfs by:

# mkinitcpio -p linux

And now I consistently have 3d acceleration ready after initial login.

Thanks again !!!
