However, it may be required to create a configuration file (prefer /etc/X11//nf over /etc/X11/nf) in order to adjust various settings.

You can start X to see if the Xorg server will function correctly without a configuration file.

The proprietary NVIDIA graphics card driver does not need any Xorg server configuration file. etc/udev/rules.d/les ACTION='add', DEVPATH='/bus/pci/drivers/nvidia', RUN+='/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c 0 -u' Xorg configuration You can create /etc/udev/rules.d/les to run it automatically: Invoking the nvidia-modprobe utility automatically creates them. nvidia-340xx-dkms AUR), you need to create device nodes. The latest driver package provides a udev rule which creates device nodes automatically, so no further action is required. NVENC requires the nvidia_uvm module and the creation of related device nodes under /dev. Hardware accelerated video encoding with NVENC See Hardware video acceleration for details. Accelerated video decoding with NVDEC is supported on Fermi (~400 series) cards and newer. Hardware accelerated video decodingĪccelerated video decoding with VDPAU is supported on GeForce 8 series cards and newer. In case this does not bother you, the Target=linux and NeedsTargets lines may be dropped, and the Exec line may be reduced to simply Exec=/usr/bin/mkinitcpio -P. Note: The complication in the Exec line above is in order to avoid running mkinitcpio multiple times if both nvidia and linux get updated.

For the Curie (NV40/G70) series and older, drivers are no longer packaged for Arch Linux.Įnsure your kernel has CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=y, and if using CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF then this is needed in the PKGBUILD (since kernel 5.16):.

For the Tesla (NV50/G80-90-GT2 XX) series, install the nvidia-340xx-dkms AUR package.

For the Fermi (NVC0/GF1 XX) series, install the nvidia-390xx-dkms AUR package.

However, NVIDIA's legacy drivers are still available and might provide better 3D performance/stability. It thus might be easier to use the nouveau driver, which supports the old cards with the current Xorg. This means that these drivers do not officially support the current Xorg version. If you have an older card, NVIDIA no longer actively supports drivers for your card. Once the driver has been installed, continue to #Xorg configuration or #Wayland. The nvidia-utils package contains a file which blacklists the nouveau module, so rebooting is necessary. This will prevent the initramfs from containing the nouveau module making sure the kernel cannot load it during early boot.Ħ. Remove kms from the HOOKS array in /etc/nf and regenerate the initramfs. For 32-bit application support, also install the corresponding lib32 package from the multilib repository (e.g.

For even older cards, have a look at #Unsupported drivers.Ĥ.

Be aware, this security feature is responsible for mitigating a class of exploit techniques. You can disable it by setting the ibt=off kernel parameter from the boot loader. Note: 470xx and older drivers may not function correctly on Linux 5.18 (or later) on systems with Intel CPUs 11th Gen and newer due an incompatibility with Indirect Branch Tracking.
