Since previous update my xserver stopped working, just before when sddm would start the screen “freezes” with blinking cursor. I am able to switch to terminal. For the past week I was browsing this and arch forums looking for solutions and nothing works for me.
I tried adding nvidia as kernel parameter, startx returns no usable screen found.
