I cannot configure my graphics card

I use KDE
I tried to get a better experience on the independent display and used nvidia-xconfig
But this prevents me from entering the graphical interface

$ lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 760] (rev a1)

Then I added some settings:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BusID          "PCI:4:0:0"
    Option         "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

The "PCI" fix
But the same result

I can enter after deleting xorg.conf, but this is not what I want

$ sudo Xorg -configure
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Esp. not gonna work from within an X11 server, but just don't.

How do you square

I use KDE

with

I cannot configure my graphics card

Does KDE start?

- remove "The "PCI" fix"
- see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting (kernel parameter AND initramfs modules)
- if KDE (SDDM?) starts, post a "clean" xorg log (ie. w/o the failed attempt to "Xorg -configure"

Thank you for your reply
I just want to play csgo but the number of frames is not ideal
I only installed the nvidia-dkms and linux-zun kernels
The fps just 20-70
