Just to add what @dalto mentioned, this is what I did, with some help from the EndeavourOS wiki also here:

START HERE FOR NVIDIA DRIVERS:

[https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/nvidia-optional-enhancements-and-troubleshooting/2021/03/](https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/nvidia-optional-enhancements-and-troubleshooting/2021/03/)

To force nvidia-drm.modeset=1, by adding it to the grub.cfg run the following:

`sudo nano /etc/default/grub`

Inside the Grub config, you’ll add `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` to the GRUB\_CMDLINE\_LINUX\_DEFAULT line. You may have other options within the quotes " " there too, leave them there and just add the modeset part either in the beginning or the end.

```auto
GRUB_DEFAULT=0

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="EndeavourOS"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nvidia-drm.modeset=1 quiet loglevel=3 nowatchdog"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

```

save the file, ctrl+x, hit Y to save and rebuild the grub.cfg via the following command:

`sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
