[SOLVED] Xorg not start or crash on startup after config my GPU

EternalNovice · 2021-12-26 15:21:23

device: ASUS A53s / Intel HD Graphics 3000 + Nvidia Geforce GT 540M
Driver: nvidia-390xx(390.144)

I don’t wnat to use Intel GPU, just want to use Nvidia GPU
(Xorg can’t works before install nvidia-390xx, and I didn’t install Intel GPU’s driver, so I think now is running with Nvidia GPU)

Xorg works Before config, but nvidia-settings can’t work.

As the title says, Xorg not start after config(both)

By the way, is “DRM kernel mode setting” necessary? ArchWiki
after add the

nvidia-drm.modeset=1

to

/boot/loader/entries/2021-12-05_14-42-02.conf

ArchWiki

options root=UUID=0a3407de-014b-458b-b5c1-848e92a327a3 rw nvidia-drm.modeset=1

it boot into rootfs and said:

ERROR: device 'UUID=0a3407de-014b-458b-b5c1-848e92a327a3' not found. Skipping fsck...
:: mounting 'UUID=0a3407de-014b-458b-b5c1-848e92a327a3' on real root

You are now being dropped into an energency shell.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

last question:
when I want to run picom
it said:

does this related my GPU driver or GPU config?

Remove the configurations entirely. If you can't turn off the integrated card in your BIOS directly you need to setup some form of Optimus as is described in: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … phics_only pay attention to the additional bits of config depending on your display manager.

It works, thank you.
