[SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

Hi everyone, I have an issue with Xorg (I think).

My old setup has a GPU by Nvidia (exactly Nvidia GeForce 405), so some days ago I tried to install the AUR drivers. I found out that my GPU needed the "nvidia-390xx" AUR package, so I installed it and, after that, SDDM wasn't able to start (I added, since the Wiki says it, the hook for pacman and 20-nvidia.conf). I thought that there was a problem with the driver, then I found out on another forum that my GPU actually needed another driver, "nvidia-340xx". The same thing happened, so I tried to restore the default driver ("noveau").

SDDM wasn't able to start again, so I tried reinstalling it, but nothing changed.

Since SDDM didn't affect the starting, I thought it might be Xorg causing something.

Then I tried checking the Xorg log file, which says this:

I tried changing the content of "Driver" (under "Device") with "noveau", which is my actual driver.
With this change Xorg didn't even try to start, giving me a message:

(EE) no screens found(EE)

Any suggestions? Thanks to you all.

Don't run X11 as root.

Remove any generated xorg.conf files (certainly xorg.conf.new) and restart Xorg/the display server and post an udpated log.

Also

pacman -Qs '(nvidia|nouveau)'

Edit: afaics the 340xx driver no longer works w/ the 1.21 X11 ABI, so you'll have to use nouveau.
Edit 2: GF 405 should™ be still supported by 390xx, though.

Since I can use the "nvidia-390xx" driver, how can I configure it? I read many guides but all of them were talking about the "nvidia" one, so I think I made some mistakes. Thanks!

Something in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" or  "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" references the nouveau ddx driver (xf-86-video-nouveau) but you don't have that installed.
Ideally you don't need to configure anything, but just install the nvidia-390xx packages (utils and dkms)

Also there're some sta 495xx and 340xx packages that you need to replace (if you need them at all)

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

As you said, I found this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf (a file created by me following a thread on a forum):

Section "Device"
           Identifier "Nvidia Graphics"
           Driver "noveau"
           Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

I've installed the drivers ("nvidia-390xx" and its "nvidia-390xx-utils"), should I put "nvidia-390xx" instead of "noveau"?
Once installed I see the screen (in CLI) with a row focused and a non focused one alternating by all the screen, does this mean that I need to perform some actions?
Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

You should remove that file unless you install xf86-video-nouveau and intend to use it.
"nvidia-390xx is wrong in any event (would be "nvidia") and doesn't make any sense (because there's no "uxa" in the nvidia driver)

Once installed I see

Installed *what*?

row focused and a non focused one alternating by all the screen

sounds like a graphical glitch, but w/o context on the currently installed system, i can't say what to make out of it ("sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io")

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

I mean once the "nvidia-390xx" package (with its dependencies too) is installed and I have rebooted the system.

The output of "sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io":

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

So, should I use the "nvidia-390xx" or the "nvidia-340xx"?

If I'm right you suggested me to use the first one, but this command says "nvidia-340xx".

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

"nvidia-340xx" - I had expected the GPU to be still covered by the 390xx driver but lspci already shows that it's an uplabeled GT218
Since the new Xorg server doesn't work (correctly) w/ that chip you're probably best off using nouveau, ie. not installing any of the nvidia-* packages.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

Thanks! It worked, it's a bit glitchy but works...
What can I do to solvet this glitches? I didn't found any articles talking about this in the Wiki...

As the Wiki suggested, I added "nouveau" into the "MODULES" section in mkinitcpio, then I regenerated it.

The problem is most likely KDE's GL compositor (you can toggle it w/ SHIFT+Alt+F12) - the xrender backend was removed but you can use picom or no compositor at all.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

The GL compositor was enabled I think (when I used the shortcut the alpha channel disappeared, no transparency), and "picom" was already installed.

Using 

qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation

I found that I'm using OpenGL 3.3.

Maybe that version is not supported on my GPU?

Yes.

and "picom" was already installed.

Doesn't mean it's configured or running…

Maybe that version is not supported on my GPU?

You'd get a GL error out of that and the GPU does support GL 3.3 - you're simply facing a bug in nouveau (like many others, as the other thread suggests) that's exposed by at least the KWin GL compositor.

=> Try to use picom w/ the (default) xrender backend, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Picom

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

It worked, I tried with the standard configuration, without making any changes to /etc/xdg/picom.conf, then I will edit it (using a *.config file in /home/user/.config/ instead, as the Wiki suggests).

Thanks again!

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't load correctly (Nvidia drivers setup)

I know this is a bit of a grave dig, but considering something similar just happened to me, I just have to point this out.

The name of the driver is not spelled:

noveau

The correct spelling (https://nouveau.freedesktop.org) is:

nouveau


That is why OP got following in their xorg.0.log:

[  5958.605] (II) LoadModule: "noveau"
[  5958.605] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module noveau
[  5958.605] (EE) Failed to load module "noveau" (module does not exist, 0)
[  5958.605] (EE) No drivers available.

Also why this would give incorrect (incomplete) information:

sudo pacman -Qs '(nvidia|noveau)'

I hope this helps someone. Cheers
