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. nvidia, nvidia-dkms, nvidia-lts or nvidia-ck- something). Make sure the Target package set in this hook is the one you have installed in steps above (e.g.

To avoid the possibility of forgetting to update initramfs after an NVIDIA driver upgrade, you may want to use a pacman hook: If you use Booster, follow Booster#Early module loading. See #pacman hook to automate these steps. If added to the initramfs, do not forget to run mkinitcpio every time there is a nvidia driver update. If you use mkinitcpio initramfs, follow mkinitcpio#MODULES to add modules. If you want to ensure it is loaded at the earliest possible occasion, or are noticing startup issues (such as the nvidia kernel module being loaded after the display manager) you can add nvidia, nvidia_modeset, nvidia_uvm and nvidia_drm to the initramfs. nvidia-390xx-dkms AUR) do not support hardware accelerated XWayland, causing non-Wayland-native applications to suffer from poor performance in Wayland sessions.įor basic functionality, just adding the kernel parameter should suffice.

For the Curie (NV40/G70) series and older, drivers are no longer packaged for Arch Linux.For the Tesla (NV50/G80-90-GT2 XX) series, install the nvidia-340xx-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 package contains a file which blacklists the nouveau module, so rebooting is necessary. 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.For the Fermi (NVC0/GF1 XX) series, install the nvidia-390xx-dkms AUR package.For the Kepler (NVE0/GK XXX) series, install the nvidia-470xx-dkms AUR package.This is currently alpha quality on desktop cards, so there will be issues.Alternatively for the Turing (NV160/TU XXX) series or newer the nvidia-open package may be installed for open source kernel modules on the linux kernel (On other kernels nvidia-open-dkms must be used).If these packages do not work, nvidia-beta AUR may have a newer driver version that offers support.For the Maxwell (NV110/GM XXX) series and newer, install the nvidia package (for use with the linux kernel) or nvidia-lts (for use with the linux-lts kernel) package.This security feature is responsible for mitigating a class of exploit techniques, but is deemed safe as a temporary stopgap solution Until this is fixed, a workaround is disabling the Indirect Branch Tracking CPU security feature by setting the ibt=off kernel parameter from the bootloader. Due to FS#74886/ FS#74891, both nvidia and nvidia-open don't boot on Linux 5.18 on systems with Intel CPUs.When installing dkms, read Dynamic Kernel Module Support#Installation.
