Hey folks,
I just switched from AMD to a NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti and can’t quite get the driver to work.
I first tried nvidia-inst
, and that suggested to opt for yay -S nvidia-beta-dkms
.
So I did just that but it doesn’t seem to work.. I mean it gets installed but it does not detect displays properly, as the first one is listed incorrectly and the second is missing altogether.
I think I’m missing something here..
Here are some outputs that might be relevant, thank all of you in advance!
