This means that these drivers do not officially support the current Xorg version. If you have an older card, NVIDIA no longer actively supports drivers for your card. Once the driver has been installed, continue to #Xorg configuration or #Wayland.

The nvidia package contains a file which blacklists the nouveau module, so rebooting is necessary. This will prevent the initramfs from containing the nouveau module making sure the kernel cannot load it during early boot.Ħ.

Remove kms from the HOOKS array in /etc/nf and regenerate the initramfs. For 32-bit application support, also install the corresponding lib32 package from the multilib repository (e.g. For even older cards, have a look at #Unsupported drivers.Ĥ.For the Kepler (NVE0/GK XXX) series, install the nvidia-470xx-dkms AUR package.Due to nvidia-open issue #282, it does not work on systems that have AMD integrated GPUs. This is currently alpha quality on desktop cards, so there will be issues.Alternatively for the Turing (NV160/TU XXX) series or newer the nvidia-open package may be installed for open source kernel modules on the linux kernel (On other kernels nvidia-open-dkms must be used).If these packages do not work, nvidia-beta AUR may have a newer driver version that offers support.For the Maxwell (NV110/GM XXX) series and newer, install the nvidia package (for use with the linux kernel) or nvidia-lts (for use with the linux-lts kernel) package.This security feature is responsible for mitigating a class of exploit techniques, but is deemed safe as a temporary stopgap solution. Until this is fixed, a workaround is disabling the Indirect Branch Tracking CPU security feature by setting the ibt=off kernel parameter from the boot loader. nvidia may not boot on Linux 5.18 (or later) on systems with Intel CPUs (likely only of 11th Gen and onward) due to FS#74886/ FS#74891.When installing dkms, read Dynamic Kernel Module Support#Installation.
