[SOLVED] Need Help About Nvidia Drivers

Well, I installed my nvidia 390xx drivers, did nvidia-xconfig and x doesnt starts when I reboot. So I just deleted the config file and x started again, but Java and OpenGL uses Intel HD thingy (I have an optimus laptop). So, what should I do?

glxinfo | grep NVIDIA

*gives no output*

glxinfo | grep OpenGL

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 (SNB GT2)
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 21.1.0
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 21.1.0
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 21.1.0
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00

I didn't had such problem like that on ubuntu based distros so I am a bit confused. Any ideas? (I didn't installed the driver via the .run file)

read this https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.0.html and put here some logs, which help us find the problem...

for optimus you will need install some packages from our universe repo too -> https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories

Well, isn't optimus-manager enough? (even i am not sure what it does)


lspci -v: https://paste.artixlinux.org/view/418453c9

dmesg: https://paste.artixlinux.org/bb464bac

lsusb: https://paste.artixlinux.org/view/0559bdc4

lsmod: https://paste.artixlinux.org/view/0195c2f4

Xorg.0.log: https://paste.artixlinux.org/fb9bceb3

sddm.log: https://paste.artixlinux.org/bd03fd06

The thing that confuses me is "glxinfo | grep NVIDIA" gives no output.

as you can read on wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus#Available_methods , there are several methods available.

You can use optimus-manager from our universe repo, as i wrote above + all his service and replacement (e.g. sddm-optimus-openrc) -> see "pacman -Ss optimus"

Another way is using bumblebee: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bumblebee you need this for switch your card from intel to nvidia. if you have all configured correctly - according to the instructions on the wiki . Corresponding service you can find via "pacman -Ss bumblebee-".

it's up to you to decide - after reading the wiki - what is more convenient for you and just install it. ;)  logs seems good...

Oh btw do you know how to enable a service in runit? The arch wiki says i need to enable bumblebeed.service but the wiki only gives systemd commands ofc.
