Re: [SOLVED] Boot hangs on [ OK ] Started Acounts Service.

post the xorg.conf?  Because no new conf was generated by that command.

No, the file that shows up in the grep, but my brain falls apart around midnight…

grep -ir nvidia /{usr/share,etc}/X11/xorg.conf*

No problem I understand, midnight is when my brain also turns off basically.  The log says it’s
/etc/X11/Xorg.conf.backup

No, I meant to run

grep -ir nvidia /{usr/share,etc}/X11/xorg.conf*

(notice the additional "r" behind the "i")

Move /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf out of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Move /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf out of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Should i run nvidia-xconfig after?

No. Under no circumstances.

Awesome I’m in now.  Anything to look out for in the future that may fuck up my drivers again?

Also unfortunately one of my monitors is still giving me no signal -- EDIT: it seems my monitor all of a sudden is not supporting 75hz, weird issue.  Otherwise if I put it on 60hz it works as usual.

Re: [SOLVED] Boot hangs on [ OK ] Started Acounts Service.

1. Do not create static server configurations (nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-settings config feature is the same and Xorg -configure isn't any better)
2. You somehow screwed up the DKMS (when changing away from I guess nvidia-470xx), so you may want to revisit https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynami … le_Support
3. "xrandr -q" and check the outputs edid in /sys/class/drm/card0-*/edid - you can cat those files into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/edid-decode-git

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

The 75Hz issue should be subject to another thread.
