All,
I have Manjaro running BOINC on 2 machines. Both have GeForce GT 630 Rev 2 and were using the 390 driver because that is what is left supporting that card. BOINC needs the 384 Cuda to help cure cancer, HIV, and COVID-19.
I have tried all of the “solutions” I found on-line. This is a total black-screen-of-death after boot situation. I can and log in via terminal.
I removed video-nvidia via this command in the terminal log in
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
and rebooted. That loaded some generic driver which shows display but is useless to BOINC making Manjaro useless to me.

According to this:
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/175203/en-us
Version: 460.80
Release Date: 2021.5.11
Operating System: Linux 64-bit
Language: English (US)
File Size: 168.17 MB
Is there an ETA of when 460.80 will bubble through the repo? I really don’t want to manually install the Nvidia driver if I can avoid it. I would really like to be able to keep using the 390 but that doesn’t seem possible.
Help and answers appreciated.
