SOLVED nvidia-open-dkms installed but resolution still 1024x768

SOLVED

I saw the post:

https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-d … l-modules/

I'm running a GTX 1080.  I uninstalled the old drivers and notice there is no longer a 580xx available via the AUR.  As shown below it's now 590xx.  I also do not have the second monitor being detected.

pacman -Qs nvidia
local/egl-gbm 1.1.2.1-1
    The GBM EGL external platform library
local/egl-wayland 4:1.1.21-1
    EGLStream-based Wayland external platform
local/egl-wayland2 1.0.0.rc.r51.gada1c37-1
    EGLStream-based Wayland external platform (2)
local/egl-x11 1.0.4-1
    NVIDIA XLib and XCB EGL Platform Library
local/lib32-nvidia-utils 590.48.01-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities (32-bit)
local/libvdpau 1.5-3
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/linux-firmware-nvidia 20251125-2
    Firmware files for Linux - Firmware for NVIDIA GPUs and SoCs
local/nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01-1
    NVIDIA open kernel modules - module sources
local/nvidia-utils 590.48.01-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities

What am I doing wrong?

Then you did not search on the AUR, since there IS a 580xx available.

As noted by the news article, your card is not supported by the nvidia-open driver. You need to switch to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-580xx-dkms

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

Mod note: moving to AUR issues

It didn't dawn on me that

580xx

was literally what I would be looking for in the AUR.  I assumed actual minor version numbers such as "580.01-04" that I wouldn't know.  I used the -Rc (cascade) option to also remove the 590 nvidia-utils (etc), rebooted and then reinstalled lib32-opencl-nvidia-580xx for steam and I'm good.  Thank you
