There isn't a default for /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf, it's a file you made

#

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

mederp received a thank you cookie!

latent lance

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

autumn hull
#

No I meant to have the first two lines be one, the third line was right

autumn hull
#

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
