Thank you, I managed to get it to work! I followed your advice but I also did a few extra things, I’m not sure which one fixed it for me.
Either way, here’s everything I did:
- First uninstalled the old drivers:
$ sudo pacman -Rs linux612-nvidia lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-utils nvidia-settings - Here’s where things get a bit different and this is where I followed your advice: instead of simply installing the new drivers, I also did a full upgrade (i.e. used -Syu instead of just -S):
$ sudo pacman -Syu linux612-nvidia-575xx nvidia-575xx-utils lib32-nvidia-575xx-utils nvidia-575xx-settings - After all that, I also checked the output of
mhwd --listinstaled. I found it a bit weird that it was still listing the driver asvideo-nvidiarather thanvideo-nvidia-575xx(which should be the correct one according to some comment in this thread). So, to be extra safe, I also did:$ sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidiaand then$ sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-575xx. - Reboot and be happy.
Again, thanks everyone!
