have been using nvidia cards (and others) forever and had few problems, but maybe getting old is now a problem. have a new dell desktop i7-11700 with onboard intel RodketLake-S GT1 [UHD Graphicks 750] and nVidia GA104 [GeForce rTX 3060 Ti] I entered the bios and configured using the NVidia card rather than Auto. I have installed: kernel-firmware-nvidia 20211027-1.1 libnvidia-container1 1.1.1-4.1 (extra) libnvidia-egl-wayland1 1.1.7-3.1 (recommended) nvidia-computeG05 470.86-49.2 nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default 470.86_k5.15.1_8-49.4 nvidia-glG05 470.86-49.2 nvidia-texture-tools 2.1.2-2.3 (extra) x11-video-nvidiaG05 470.86-49.2 reboot to runlevel #3 with nomodeset added to kernel boot parameters as root issue: systemctl isolate graphical prompt returns to tty screen but tty7 is blank with blinking cursor upper left I even installed kernel-source packages and tried the "Hard Way" which I used to use, but failed with msg that kernel-source not configured ??? I have spent much tooo much time trying on my own to resolve this.
