Hello world! So I recently installed Arch Linux afresh via the install guide, and everything was going swimmingly.
I decided to install fbsplash instead of plymouth as a boot screen.
After rebooting without editing the mkinitcpio.conf file or /etc/default/grub, the GRUB bootloader is stuck at a 640x480 resolution.
When I boot Arch, I see the following:
> Loading Linux linux...
> Loading initial ramdisk...
> error: no suitable video mode found.
> Booting in blind mode...
Thankfully, the X server (along with SDDM and Plasma) works perfectly as I'm typing this. But every other TTY except tty1, which normally works with X11, are blank; no output.
The modules in mkinitcpio are set to accommodate to the NVIDIA proprietary drivers (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, nvidia drivers, installed via 'pacman -S nvidia')
I removed fbsplash from the system, along with anything that's been created from the install.
I issued fbset on the terminal, but I got the message:
> open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
So something must've killed the framebuffer, but I don't understand how it happened.
Any ideas?
[Edit] found the solution. I added insmod all_video to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and regenerated grub.cfg.
