Re: nvidia-390xx AUR package discussion thread

With my Mac that has a GT 750M

According to https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ that card should use the 470 driver , not the 390 .

Please post the output of lspci -knn -d ::03xx so the exact type/model of your card can be verified.

nvidia_drm is missing as I'm trying to test the 470xx drivers to see if they work, but they likely will not

They should, it's a Kepler card (GK107M is the relevant identification bit).

Nevertheless nvidia_drm would not show up on that output anyway.

Re: nvidia-390xx AUR package discussion thread

i did an update that led to my system to not boot probably
pacman.log
https://0x0.st/8Ofl.txt
the day that i update and it broke the system:
14th Apr 2025 - 15th apr 2025
Journalctl
https://0x0.st/8OZq.txt
i have already tried to rebuild the aur packages with nvidia in the name
and did `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` in grub commandline
i have downgraded for now but its not visible in the logs

Nvidia driver doesn't cooperate well with simpledrm device .

Try adding nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to your boot command line .
(How to do that depends on your chosen bootloader.)

NOTE: do not add it to a file in /etc/modprobe.d , that is processed to late for this to work.

Re: nvidia-390xx AUR package discussion thread

If that's not it (though you want to enable kms regardless of simpledrm and crash)
