Install and configure nvidia driver on Arch Linux

Find the right driver

To install your driver you should read the wiki, my solution may not work for you.
NVIDIA - ArchWiki

To see what graphics card you have:

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

Output

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device 39fe
	Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device 39fe
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

Wish driver you need:

CodeNames
This is what i have:
NV137 (GP107) GeForce GTX (1050, 1050 Ti)
I’m above NV110 so I install the nvidia drinver and not the nvidia-lts one.

sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-prime nvidia-settings

I use prime-run for the moment to use my GPU only when I need, but I will try NVIDIA Optimus.
D’ont create a conf file for Xorg, the conf is inplemented in the driver.

Configure mkinitcpio

The doc:
Early KMS start
DRM_Kernel_mode_setting
In the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Replace MODULES=() by MODULES=(i915 nvidia).

Tests

Enable ssh:
sudo systemctl enable sshd
First thing to do is reboot:
It can work now but if it’s broken after the rebbot it’s useless.

Download glxinfo from AUR:
prime-run glxinfo
If you have an output without errror it’s good.
The nvidia setting:

nvidia-setting

You should download nvtop via pacman:

sudo pacman -S nvtop

And run nvtop to see the consumption.
