I have Manjaro KDE on Lenovo E440 laptop with integrated Intel + discrete Nvidia GT 740M. mhwd shows only drivers of version 390 as suitable while in system also installed drivers 470.57.02-1. How can I upgrade drivers to the most recent version?

I don’t see your card on the list of supported products so most likely it’s impossible :frowning:

3

Thank you @Tomek, but I actually see it in drivers version of 418.113: NVIDIA DRIVERS Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver

4

I updated topic as it mostly about general upgrade of video drivers from 390.

5

These drivers was dropped at the end of 2020. Your only option is to compile them.

You can also use nvidia-all,run the script and tell what driver do you want.

Keep in mind if you change the kernel,you need to reinstall it again.

7

Sorry, Tomek, maybe I understand you incorrect but why do you tell that drivers of version 418 was dropped? In the post you provided I see that version 340 was dropped. And 390 GOING TO BE dropped.

My question is “how to upgrade from 390 to most recent available version” (which is probably 418).

8

Thank you, I try to do it!

9

You shouldn’t need to. The NVIDIA 390 branch is supported by Manjaro, and it supports your GPU. Install that.

10

It is supported until late 2022, after that you will have to switch to Nouveau or get newer supported hardware.

You didn’t read mentioned topics in this post (first two links):

The answer is: if you want Nvidia 418 drivers, you need to compile them. Otherwise you should stay with 390.

12

Yeah sadly this is the nature of the beast when it comes to nvidia, getting the latest drivers for older cards is an issue in both windows and linux as once nvidia drops support for your GPU that is that, do not pass go and do not collect $200.
This is not a linux issue or even a windows one… its nvidia for wanting to keep to proprietary drivers.
This leaves you with only a few options, either stick to the old drivers (whioch in itself is not a bad thing) try the open source versions (hey neuvau is actually not that bad on some cards) or get a new machine/hardware.
