I believe I've done everything install-related correctly. This is a completely fresh install too.

Attempting to boot it will stall at a blinking cursor. It also locks up so I can't access another TTY without manually rebooting it.

Things I've tried to fix it:

  • nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 parameters, both in GRUB and modprobe config
  • Setting a bunch of environment variables:
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
ENABLE_VKBASALT=1
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="wayland;xcb"```
- Reinstalling both gdm and drivers, also trying both `nvidia` and `nvidia-dkms`
- Removing KMS from mkinitcpio hooks
- Enabling `nvidia-resume`, `nvidia-hibernate` and `nvidia-suspend` services
- Added `nvidia`, `nvidia_modeset`, `nvidia_uvm`, `nvidia_drm` to mkinitcpio modules
