Hello,
I use Manjaro 21.3.0, with the Kernel Linux 5.15.48-1. I have trouble using my Nvidia Graphic card and particularly to use Vulkan. I’ve read on the Internet that proprietary Nvidia drivers had difficulties to work with the Windowing system Wayland and that I should use Xorg. Unfortunately, I can’t use it and I would like to know why. I’ve followed differents tutorials on the Arch forum to install and use it but I have not succeed (yet).

I don’t understand why nvidia-xconfig
is unable to find the GPUs.
Thank you for your help!
