[QUESTION] [SOLVEDid recent nvidia-open driver updates break graphics?

I have a laptop with both intel integrated graphics and an nvidia GPU, and this past weekend I set up prime and using my GPU for games was working fine. Earlier today I noticed the kernel update and upgraded my packages, then when i went to play all of the games which are set to use my GPU they crash out. I then re-updated and got both a nvidia-open and kernel update, however after these updates the games still crash, also after reboot. Is this happening to anyone else or is this issue documented currently?

Minecraft crashes with the following output:

GLFW error 65543: GLX: Failed to create context: GLXBadFBConfig.

Please make sure you have up-to-date drivers (see aka.ms/mcdriver for instructions)

And steam games crash without output to the screen (although i assume they produce some logs, but for now I just want to know if Im the only one).

Did I likely make a mistake somewhere, or is there just an issue with the current driver update?

Current versions:
intel-ucode 20240910-1   
lib32-nvidia-utils 560.35.03-1
linux 6.10.9.arch1-2
linux-firmware 20240909.552ed9b8-1
nvidia-open 560.35.03-5
nvidia-prime 1.0-5
steam 1.0.0.81-2
wine 9.16-1
wine-mono 9.2.0-1
xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.17-3 (Is disabled properly)

Re: [QUESTION] [SOLVEDid recent nvidia-open driver updates break graphics?

Trying to do some digging on it, it appears that the update made the card switch back to using nouveau, per the output of lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)":

        Kernel driver in use: nouveau          

Have to go through docs to remember how to blacklist nouveau again, as my guess is the driver update accidentally removed the blacklist file.

Re: [QUESTION] [SOLVEDid recent nvidia-open driver updates break graphics?

The problem was tangential to the previous post, something about the most recent driver update reactivated nouveau, reinstalling nvidia-utils (pacman -S nvidia-utils) fixed the problem. It feels like its running slowly but thats likely due to caching, it feels the same as when I first set it up so I'm considering it fixed.

so I'm considering it fixed.

Please prepend [Solved] to the thread title (edit first post).
(replacing question with solved also works)
