Hi,
this maybe a beginner question so please excuse the circumstances. I try to follow phillims suggestion of compiling the 340xx drivers on my own. I downloaded the three compressed folders and unpacked them to home/ak/Schreibtisch/Treiber.
sudo pacman -S git base-devel
and
sudo pacman -S $(mhwd-kernel -li | grep '*' | cut -d ' ' -f5 | awk '{print $0,"-headers"}' | sed s'/ //'g)
was successful. But
[ak@Elitebook ~]$ makepkg
==> FEHLER: PKGBUILD existiert nicht.
[ak@Elitebook ~]$ cd nvidia-340xx-utils && makepkg -si
bash: cd: nvidia-340xx-utils: not found
[ak@Elitebook ~]$ makepkg
==> FEHLER: PKGBUILD doesnt exist.
What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong?
You didn’t clone the PKGBUILD … read again
I didn´t know how to clone, thats why I unnecessary downloaded the zip. Know I have learned to insert
…
bash$ clone git <URL>
…
[ak@Elitebook ~]$ git clone https://github.com/philmmanjaro/nvidia-340xx-dkms.git
fatal: path 'nvidia-340xx-dkms' already exists and is not an empty folder.
[ak@Elitebook ~]$ cd ../nvidia-340xx-dkms && makepkg -si
bash: cd: ../nvidia-340xx-dkms: data or folder not found.
…
PS.: I translate some parts of the console output myselv from german to english. Just in case you wonder about the spelling.
Then compile all packages with makepkg :
cd nvidia-340xx-utils && makepkg -si
cd ../lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils && makepkg -si
cd ../nvidia-340xx-dkms && makepkg -si
What does the folder structure need to look like? Is nvidia-30xx-utils the parent folder and the other two are subfolders?
It maybe that I am writing for my own here, but who knows? Maybe someone out there is able and wants to help me.
`cd nvidia-340xx-dkms && makepkg -si
…
I got this

I did `cd /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/340.108/build/make.log´
Now I know how to get to the log. The command is not “cd” but “less”. So I entered
less /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/340.108/build/make.log

I think your output already points you to the answer, see the lines that say:
Consult /var/lib/dkms/...../build/make.log for more information.
solved a similar problem with reinstalling the dkms modules. What I don´t understand is, how that need to be done, when I just installed those modules.

They aren’t appropriate here; what you need to do is install the kernel headers:
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
To ensure they are installed with future kernel updates, install the meta-package too:
sudo apt install linux-headers-generic
Another possible solution. I am not quite sure if I want to tinker with the kernel.
