Description:
After installing nvidia-settings, when I tried to run it, I got "ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system". Googling led me to this post on Nvidia's forums: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-settings-error-unable-to-load-info-from-any-available-system/172872/4 As I've recently migrated from Gentoo, where nvidia-settings worked, I checked the ebuild there, and sure enough, it created a "50-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf" in /etc/X11/xord.conf.d that was pretty much exactly what that Nvidia post said. When I added it to my system (with a modified lib path of /usr/lib/nvidia/xorg since that seems to be where the modules are) and restarted Xorg, nvidia-settings worked. Additional info: * package version(s) - nvidia-settings 470.74-1 * config and/or log files etc. - see info above * link to upstream bug report, if any - see info above * system info - Dell Latitude 5520 with i7 Iris Xe iGPU and Nvidia GeForce MX450 dGPU Steps to reproduce: 1. pacman -S nvidia-settings 2. nvidia-settings 3.

Extract from working Xorg.0.log:

Will continue to test and let you know how I go.

I've had a read of the link you sent, which sent me to this, which sounded like it needed to be set up first: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#DRM_kernel_mode_setting
I followed those instructions (adding nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to GRUB command line) and rebooted, and I see the ModulePath loading, and nvidia-settings works. Will check again later from a cold boot to be sure, but hopefully that sorts my issue out. Cheers.
