Problems with OpenGL on GTX 650 with Nvidia Drivers

I have problems with OpenGL in SRB2 on GTX 650
it's showing black screen only
SRB2 Logs
Xorg Logs
If you need more logs I'll be ready to send them.
(I'm new to Linux so forgive me if I'm being too dumb)

Generically, get rid of xf86-video-nouveau and enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting - use the "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" kernel parameter (modprobe.conf won't do!)

Well... I already have DRM enabled, so I removed nouveau, rebooted the system, and everything works! Thanks for helping!

Re: Problems with OpenGL on GTX 650 with Nvidia Drivers

The plan by using the kernel parameter would have been to eliminate the simpledrm device (that shows up as 2nd GPU in the log)

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.
