| ==Take Note that this tutorial is meant for users who are using the NVIDIA Proprietary (non-free) drivers.==
| |
| You can check what drivers you have installed with:
| |
| inxi -G
| |
| If you have the Nouveau driver you can install the proprietary NVIDIA driver.
| |
| To install the non-free drivers; go to a terminal and write:
| |
|
| |
|
| sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
| |
|
| |
|
| Then reboot and your driver should be installed.

|
| ==To configure Resolution/Refresh Rate:==
| | [[File:Msm.jpg|thumb|left|375px]] |
|
| |
|
| 1. Open terminal run 'sudo nvidia-settings'
| | The Manjaro Settings Manager offers you a series of settings, which are either enabled by Manjaro (i.e. installation of multiple kernels) or are missing from at least some of popular [[Desktop Environments|Desktop Environments and Window Managers]]. |
|
| |
|
| 2. Change resolution and refresh rate in 'X Server Display Configuration' tab.
| | Manjaro Settings Manager is under development and might offer even more settings than illustrated on the left. |
|
| |
|
| 3. Hit the 'Save to X Configuration File' button and save to /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
| |
|
| |
|
| 4. Open terminal and run 'sudo mhwd-gpu --setgl nvidia --setxorg /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf'
| | <br clear="all" /> |
|
| |
|
| '''Note:''' The above method, currently, does not work in the
| | == Language == |
| Cinnamon Edition. When a solution is derived, it will be
| |
| updated here.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==To configure X Screen settings (OpenGL Settings, Antialiasing, X Server XVideo):==
| | [[File:Msm-lang.jpg|thumb|left|375px]] |
|
| |
|
| 1. Open terminal and run 'nvidia-settings'
| | The system language can be added, changed, and removed in this window. |
|
| |
|
| 2. Change settings in X Server XVideo Settings, OpenGL and Antialiasing, in the 'X Screen' tab.
| | If you want to different languages between X and kernel then you will have to edit your ~/.xprofile to include your desired settings. |
|
| |
|
| 3. Click on 'nvidia-settings configuration' tab and click on the 'Save Current Configuration' button.
| | <br clear="all" /> |
|
| |
|
| 4. Save the .nvidia-settings-rc to the default location specified ( /home/user_name )
| | == Kernel == |
|
| |
|
| 5. Open terminal and type 'sudo gedit ~/.xinitrc' (or 'sudo gedit /home/user_name/.xinitrc') -> replace gedit with text editor of choice.
| | [[File:Msm-kernels.jpg|thumb|left|375px]] |
|
| |
|
| 6. Once opened, add 'exec nvidia-settings --load-config-only' on a new line (do not add the ' ' ).
| | This window enables the user to easily manage and change all available kernels for Manjaro. Running and installed kernels can be easily identified. Read more on the [[Manjaro Kernels]] page. |
|
| |
|
| 7. Save and exit.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Summary:==
| |
|
| |
|
| There you go. This should (hopefully) solve those having issues with the NVIDIA non-free drivers for loading specific resolutions/refresh rates and X Screen settings on startup.

| = Troubleshooting = | | == Time and Date == |
|
| |
|
| X Server failed to start after install and reboot
| | [[File:Msm-time.jpg|thumb|left|375px]] |
|
| |
|
| If you restart your computer after the nvidia driver installation, and shows you that the X Server failed to start and the log shows you " modprobe: ERROR: could not insert nvidia : No such a device
| | Some Desktop Environments do not offer an easy way to edit time and date (i.e. XFCE). |
| then deinstall the nvidia driver with "sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia" then reboot your computer
| | This window enables the user to do that. |
| back to your desktop open a terminal write in "sudo gedit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf delete the nouveau out of MODULES, MODULES=" nouveau" -> MODULES=""
| |
| after that write in the terminal for kernel 3.10 "sudo mkinitcpio -p linux310" for Kernel 3.11 "sudo mkinitcpio -p linux311"
| |
| then install the nvidia driver "sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300" reboot and it should work ;)

| | This window offers an easy way install free/non-proprietary/open-source and non-free/proprietary/closed-source graphics card drivers by the click of a button. |
| | |
| | If Manjaro did not install a wireless network card driver during installation, it can be installed here as well. |
