Hi, This is a fresh install. I ran the command yay nvidia and installed the first option which was the driver version 530.41.03-3 but after installing and restarting inxi -G still outputs this for my NVIDIA gpu: Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] driver: N/A
Can you show your hardware. Post the url
inxi -Faz | eos-sendlog
Try running this test and post the output
nvidia-inst -t
@voxprimus
Did you happen to reboot after you installed the nvidia driver with yay?
Edit: I also don’t think that installs all that is needed for the nvidia drivers.

pacman -Syuq --noconfirm --noprogressbar --needed nvidia-dkms
Yes I did reboot.
Well you can try running the nvidia installer and reboot.
nvidia-inst
Since it is a hybrid you may need to use optimus manager to switch graphics or another method.
It shows it’s rendering on the Intel graphics.

GT2) direct-render: Yes
Edit: Did you already have prime installed? Did you try switching?
Yes, I did have prime installed I installed an extension for GNOME I tried switching from hybrid to NVIDIA from the GUI and when I restarted it would still be hybrid
its currently stuck on this: dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/530.41.03 -k 6.1.23-1-lts I have seen this before but have never paid attention to it.
Hmm? All i can suggest is try the nvidia-installer It will remove prime. Then see if inxi -Ga shows the driver installed after rebooting.
Edit: If the driver shows installed then you could try optimus-manager
is the nvidia-installer referring to the nvidia-inst command?
Yes …
Edit: Without the -t option
nvidia-inst

This is the output for inxi -Ga after using the command nvidia-inst and rebooting.

Does it show the same if you log out and log with xorg?
Edit: Also is this an older install as i don’t see the kernel parameter in the command line for nvidia?
output with xorg

Nope latest install Cassini Nova
I don’t see the kernel parameter nvidia-drm.modeset=1 in the command line? 
Not sure if something is messed up with the driver. I would try running the installer to revert to nouveau open source first. See if it shows nouveau as installed. Then try to install the nvidia driver again. Not sure whether you need the kernel parameter but i have it on mine.
nvidia-inst -n
This will revert to nouveau open source driver.
Then try install nvidia driver again.
nvidia-inst
Make sure you reboot each time.
