I think those are 2 515 packages tied because the nvidia-510xx-settings package wouldn’t build as posted above, but 515 settings package built and runs without issues.
$ sudo pacman -R libxnvctrl

The nvidia-prime package is for ‘prime-run’, it runs with or without it on 510xx drivers, and doesn’t make a difference if I try 515 drivers.
With my dual nvidia GPU setup, using nvidia prime, my 1080 still does most of the work and the P620 is just used for outputs, not as favorable as on windows where each card does it own work for it outputs, but this looks like a limitation with linux currently, using the same technology as laptops with both an igpu and dgpu.
Not sure why you marked it as a solution? We are trying to figure out this issue but without your help it is difficult as we don’t have the hardware.
The nvidia-settings is a beta in the AUR for the 510.xx series. I can’t seem to bring it up with a yay search but with pamac it shows.
Edit: It does have nvidia-settings for the 515.xx series though.
I checked the nvidia site again and it does show the Quadro P620 as supported by the 515.xx drivers. Yesterday when i looked it didn’t show that. It said 510.xx series even though the tool you ran to check the db said it was supported.
Okay… no problem. So you said you tried another fresh install again and it didn’t work?
Edit: You can just revert to Nouveau first and then try an Nvidia install. If i were to do that i would also check that ALL nvidia drivers were uninstalled and that it was running on Nouveau open source drivers first.

You could try the following kernel parameter in the default grub command line and then update grub before trying the install of the 515.xx Nvidia drivers.
Installing a fresh OS now, also seeing nvidia just moved 515 from beta to release today. It’s why you only saw 510 yesterday for the P620, was same for the GTX1080, 515 was a beta release driver before today. Was these: https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/187826/en-us
When i checked it it listed the 510.xx version for the P620 and 515.xx for the GTX 1080. I didn’t notice beta when i looked but yes i see now it’s showing same for both cards.
Edit: I don’t think there is an issue with the installer or the tools to check. I think this is all Nvidia as usual.
I hate to say it, that didn’t fix the issue, ‘ibt=off’ still hangs the system with 515 drivers. Noticed they are still the beta branch, looking at the arch repo they haven’t updated versions up to release, ‘515.43.04’ vs ‘515.48.07’.
Looking at my logs I don’t see the problem they are having not loading the module, from scanning the log I posted before my issue seems to stem from possibly:
May 29 19:26:12 scott-pc kernel: nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:1: Display engine push buffer channel allocation failed: 0x65 (Call timed out [NV_ERR_TIMEOUT])
May 29 19:26:12 scott-pc kernel: nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:1: Failed to allocate display engine core DMA push buffer
I read that, and looked a bit more, seems those issues are with suspend, mine seems to be when it first tries to initialize video on boot. ‘GPU:1’ means the P620, so I am thinking the current drivers have issue with the P620 being used.
Once the repo updates from the beta to release I will try again unless I can find another solution.
I first tried without the grub parameter, once that failed, I updated grub and tried again. Even verified in grub before booting.
When i tried it was giving me nvidia-settings-beta? Anyway hopefully nvidia it sorts itself out for some of these odd issues as i didn’t have any updating on my GTX 1060.
Result depends on how and what you search. The yay -Ss command can take several separate words as parameters. Maybe you searched for nvidia-settings and not nvidia 510 ?
