[SOLVED] Several GPU related problems

[swift nimbus]

Hey guys. I finally installed arch several months of using windows, and because i bought new GPU - GTX 970, instead of HD 6850.

1. If computer goes sleep mode, after waking up i have black screen. Just black screen. I can switch to other ttys easily tho
2. Whats the best driver for this GPU? Im using nvidia proprietary driver right now, and KDE lags really hard on every window related animation, but windows works really fast, without lags

[swift nimbus]

@swift nimbus wayland or x11?

[swift nimbus]

X11, wayland just shows black screen with incorrect resolution after logging in

what kernel are you using?

Latest 6.7.8 kernel

@swift nimbus try the zen kernel

[swift nimbus]

Why? And whats the difference?

Result of a collaborative effort of kernel hackers to provide the best Linux kernel possible for everyday systems.

[swift nimbus]

Btw, what driver should i use? Im installing kernel rn

dkms with any kernel other then stock

Oh, uh, okay

[swift nimbus]

Uhhhh, my /etc/default/grub appears to be empty

Idk how this is possible

[swift nimbus]

Oh, i dont have grub and efibootmgr installed

AH

I forgot im using systemd boot

[swift nimbus]

I updated systemd boot conf, and wayland booted up! But got incorrect resolution

@swift nimbus open xrandr

[swift nimbus]

Command not found, target not found

@swift nimbus pacman -S lxrandr

[swift nimbus]

Will it work with wayland?

I listed available modes, and there is no resolution i need

Tried to set it, and it says "Size not found in available modes"
Ill add my own mode

Aaahhhh, i dont know

[swift nimbus]

Whats next? I have no idea, really

@swift nimbus screenshot lxrandr

Isnt it for lxde?

no

@swift nimbus can you see if x11 works instead of wayland

Yeah, wait a minute

[swift nimbus]

Nah, same resolution and all animations are sped up

try the open source nvidia drivers

[swift nimbus]

Ill try nvidia-dkms maybe instead of nvidia

[swift nimbus]

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

[swift nimbus]

Yes, and i was using nvidia driver for linux kernel, but if i moved to linux zen, i should install nvidia-dkms

If not, ill try nvidia-open-dkms

[swift nimbus]

@swift nimbus I said that

I thought dkms was installed-_-

Oh, login screen already looks nice

[swift nimbus]

Wayland went black screen again

try x11

It should work

[swift nimbus]

Yeah, x11 works

Cant i fix wayland somehow?

Oh my gooood, everything is lagging so baad

[thin nest]

Maybe give Nouveau a shot

[swift nimbus]

@swift nimbus

[swift nimbus]

Everything is solved, sorry, forgot to modify post name

@swift nimbus say how you fixed it

I just went to Wayland, because was using X11. If you have nvidia gpu, and wayland is not starting up, you should set nvidia drm parameter in bootloader, and everything should work.

(i just tested, and when my computer wakes up, it forgets to enable monitor-_-)
