video driver in the newest arch installer

I have an nvidia video adpater.
In old arch installers, there is a dedicated option for video drivers, when I select nvidia-open/nvidia-open-dkms, there is no problem.
In the newest arch installer (2026.04.01), no dedicated option for video drivers, and I select nvidia-open in applications, installation completes, login screen shows, but after logining, black screen.
How to solve?

Re: video driver in the newest arch installer

Moving to Guided installer section...

Post

pacman -Qs nvidia
 lspci -k -d ::03xx
sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-'  https://paste.c-net.org/

if this turns up to be an archinstaller bug you'll probably find more help on the github issue page e.g.: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/4455
