[SOLVED] No graphic card acceleration

I have installed the latest version of EndeavourOS and have been really enjoying it.

But I did a few updates tonight and it after a reset it says there is no graphic card acceleration.

I use a MSI GTX 1060 3GB card.

Hope someone can help.

Welcome @Morcar
Could you post the output of inxi -Ga

Okay can you follow this guide and if you need help just ask.

Edit: add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the kernel parameter inside grub:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Add it in this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nvidia-drm.modeset=1 resume=UUID=...

ctrl +o enter
ctrl x

Then generate a new grub

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

Then force early load KMS

sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

add nvidia to the modules

MODULES="nvidia"

ctrl +o enter
ctrl x

Then

sudo mkinitcpio -P

I just tried it and it worked.

Thank you so much in getting it going again.

So with inxi -Ga now it should show the renderer as the video card. You can mark it solved if it’s working also.
