nvidia drivers

Im a newbie and I have a problem with nvidia-utils. After installing this package only one monitor is working and I can't change the resolution from 1024x768. I uninstalled nvidia-utils and everything was working fine but I need those drivers because of rtx.

Re: nvidia drivers

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Re: nvidia drivers

So instead of posting the link you figured it would be a good idea to copy the content here, without [code][/code] tags…

I deleted the rest because it was showing 'log'itech mouse only.

Yea, no. Certainly not, Post it all.

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

But according to your journal, neither nouveau nor nvidia loads. You're running the LTS kernel so you most likely didn't install nvidia-lts.
There's also

mar 14 08:38:56 Steele kernel: simple-framebuffer simple-framebuffer.0: [drm] fb0: simpledrmdrmfb frame buffer device

That's the SIMPLYDUMB device, enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting - use the "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" kernel parameter (modprobe.conf won't do!)

Re: nvidia drivers

Okay everything is working fine now. Thank you for your time and excuse my stupidity. (I'm pretty young and using arch for like a week)

Re: nvidia drivers

Well, it's probably gonna be a thorny but fast learning experience (in case you ever worry: people here can be grumpy, but are usually not meanspirited)

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.
And avoid blanking posts (wrapping it in code tags would have been the better choice, replacing it w/ the 0x0.st url the best) but it's no big deal in the specific situation.
