I installed the package nvidia-390xx (linux416-nvidia-309xx) and although my card is supported (390.59), after the boot it is not possible to upload the X server!

I tried loading the nvidia module manually and the error reported is that the card is not supported.

lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 420] (rev a2)

lspci -n | grep 01:00.0
01:00.0 0300: 10de:0de2 (rev a2)

uname -a
Linux pherkad 4.16.14-2-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 8 20:10:17 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The card works in the nvidia-340xx package, but I wanted to know why it does not work with the more modern package if the site appears as supported.

Thanks,
Marcelo Módolo
