Here are some outputs:

lspci -k | awk '/VGA/,/modules/'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 635M] (rev a1)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 635M] (rev a1)

and the problem is:

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  39
  Current serial number in output stream:  40

I'd installed drivers with:

yay -S nvidia-390xx-dkms nvidia-390xx-utils lib32-nvidia-390xx-utils

I need to say that I use Hyprland (Wayland tho).
How can i fix it (i cannot run lots of apps/games coz of this)?

#

it'll be suitable to post this output too:

and the 390xx driver does not support Firefox, I don’t know, my browser simply doesn’t start with it.

does other software work like glxgears? hyprland shouldn't work well on that old driver
