update:

added 3 lines to PKGBUILD, included kernel-5.16.patch in folder, ran buildpkg-world;

installed nvidia-utils and nvidia-dkms with no problems, rebuilt initramfs, rebooted fine.

should be easy fix to repo

Not sure how long it takes patches to be made to repo but I had the same error for nvidia-dkms.

I solved it by switching to
Code: [Select]
pacman -S extra/nvidia-dkms
(see below), and it fixed nvidia-dkms build error and along with it my startx graphical server problem.
This is consistent with your comments on the issue being patched in the AUR.

Code: [Select]
world/nvidia-dkms 495.46-1 [installed: 495.46-2]
    NVIDIA drivers - module sources
extra/nvidia-dkms 495.46-2 [installed]
    NVIDIA drivers - module sources

Thanks for your comments :)!
