Same here, but i installed 450x with pacman and removed 440x manually. After reboot i did this “sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime -f” in terminal to reinstall 450x. Now GTX 1050 mobile working fine here.

I think if you uninstall 440x first will work fine.

I dont think thats necessary.
Most likely just need to remove the ‘latest’ umbrella first.

sudo pacman -R linux-latest-nvidia-440xx

Thank you guys, i currently removed 440x, but mhwd can’t install dependencies.

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

But it’s GUI, how can i force continue in the installing? I can’t hit “y” in the GUI mode. I tried through terminal but it’s same.

I guess lets update and install modesetting for ourselves first.
sudo pacman -Syyu video-modesetting
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime

Edit. Oops. Should be

sudo mhwd -i pci video-modesetting
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime
8

I have latest and I still have problem.

Thats not what the above command does … it updates and installs modesetting.
So you shouldnt be able to get the same ‘need to install modesetting’ afterwards …

10

video-modesetting needs to be installed with mhwd - the graphical interface is fine. Afterwards video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime can be installed without the prompt.

11

haha . you are right. Dont know how I missed that.
Time to edit and repost here …

sudo mhwd -i pci video-modesetting
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime

At this point, I’m feeling a bit stupid, but

I’m not sure what you mean exactly … but everything you need is probably in these links:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME

Otherwise you may want to start a new thread.
