Hello,
I noticed some issues with my GPU specifically not being used when running games with lutris/proton-ge and wanted to try to reinstall the drivers.
I am using the dr460nized garuda gaming distro, I proceeded to uninstall all drivers listed in the garuda settings manager, specifically:
nvidia:
video-nvidia-prime-render-offload
video-nvidia-dkms
video-linux
video-modesetting
intel:
video-nvidia-prime-render-offload
video-linux
video-modesetting
After which I attempted to reinstall them again one by one, during which I noticed that it’s not possible to install both video-nvidia-dkms and video-nvidia-prime-render-offload
Error:
Waiting for user input...
Starting
Error: config 'video-nvidia-prime-render-offload' conflicts with config(s): video-nvidia-dkms
Done ...
Additionally both the intel and nvidia gpu show as “Unknown device name” in the garuda settings manager.

Garuda (2.6.26-1.1):
System install date: 2025-02-13
Last full system update: 2025-02-14 ↻
Is partially upgraded: No
Relevant software: snapper NetworkManager dracut nvidia-dkms
Windows dual boot: No/Undetected
Failed units:
Additionally GWE throws the error:
NV CONTROL-X extension not found
It was not possible to find the NVIDIA NV-CONTROL X extension on the current Display device.
Please make sure that the NVIDIA proprietary display drivers are installed and they support your current GPU
I was able to run at least one game previously using the GPU, not exactly sure what changed as I didn’t mess with the drivers directly before encountering issues, however I did reset all Garuda settings back to default several times while experimenting with themes.
If you could guide me on getting this back to a usable state, I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks!
