I don’t know how to make the two things work together, and my gpu is rtx 5070ti mobile, it can’t support nvidia-dkms and only support nvidia-open-dkms, but i still want to use garuda’s config like garuda-nvidia-config and garuda-nvidia-prime-config, what should i do ?
Hi there, welcome to the forum.
garuda-nvidia-config is a meta-package, so it does not contain actual drivers, but pulls in other packages via dependencies, including nvidia-dkms.
So, you could remove that package without dependecies:
sudo pacman -R garuda-nvidia-config
then install the driver you need, e.g.
sudo pacman -S nvidia-open-dkms
which should be able to replace nvidia-dkms without conflicts.
I don’t know if there are other dkms packages to be removed/replaced because I don’t use Nvidia, but this should be the logic…
If you have a nvidia prime system, try instead as a first step:
sudo pacman -R garuda-nvidia-prime-config garuda-nvidia-config
