#Messed up my /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf what do I do

You can just edit the file to look like this, which is similar to what that comment is saying
options nvidia NVreg_UsePageAttributeTable=1
options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1
I did remove two of the options for the nvidia module as I haven't seen them before and I don't believe they are needed
@latent lance
mederp received a thank you cookie!
yes
Are you able to access a TTY?
ctrl + alt + F[2-6]
What does lspci -k | grep -A 3 VGA return?
Driver seems to be loaded properly
But the error I see at the top implies something is wrong with the NVIDIA mod probe config
Can you send what it looks like here?
You're missing options nvidia from the start of the first line
Also you probably need to run mkinitcpio -P after making that file, so sorry about forgetting that part
Oh I see, they're on different lines
Make sure they're on the same line
mkinitcpio -P by itself as root/with sudo
No I meant to have the first two lines be one, the third line was right
It should look like this
Did you regenerate the initramfs with mkinitcpio -P?
What display manager are you using?
So I assume SDDM?
I don't see why any issue with that would prevent SDDM from starting, as it uses X11 by default
No, they're separate modules
It comes with KDE Plasma
But like I said, this issue doesn't have anything to do with Wayland if you aren't even getting into SDDM
Unless you configured it to use Wayland, which I assume you haven't
You don't have to install Xorg really, what's needed is usually just pulled as a dependency
You're on the 560 drivers?
You could try the stable drivers instead
Make sure you regenerate the initramfs after installing them
Yes
