I am running Arch Linux (Cinnamon) with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 TI video card. I have just started getting the following message:
"Check your video drivers. Your system is currently running without hardware acceleration. You may experience poor performance and high CPU usage."
This message comes up on boot.
I am running the LTS kernel with the Nvidia LTS software.
All of the posts I've read relate to correcting the problem with the operating system running inside a VM. Never having had this problem I am at a loss of how to proceed to correct the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

how did you install the nvidia drivers?
have you tried reinstalling them?

Yes I have reinstalled. No dice... The drivers were installed as per the arch directions through their repository.

where is the lack of acceleration reported?

what does
look like?

do you have an xorg.conf ? or is it fully auto

come to think of it..
are you using X or Wayland

The message regarding the lack of acceleration pops up in a small message window when I boot. There is no xorg.conf as it apparently is not needed with the nvidia-lts driver. I am using X. I can only post part of glxinfo because of the size...

yes, something is defiantly wrong

you should see something like this

[code]

nvidia_drm 53248 1
drm_kms_helper 225280 1 nvidia_drm
drm 532480 4 drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm
nvidia_modeset 1056768 7 nvidia_drm
nvidia 14712832 271 nvidia_modeset
ipmi_msghandler 65536 2 ipmi_devintf,nvidia

[/code]


use code blocks like above to get the below

All that's there is this:

nvidia_modeset 1122304 1
nvidia 19517440 79 nvidia_modeset
ipmi_msghandler 65536 2 ipmi_devintf,nvidia

at first glance it would appear that some kernel modules are missing

mine are from nvidia legacy ( version 390xx ) since I have an old card, but I would expect the list to be similar


what do you get from that?

Unfortunately trying to fix this problem just made things worse. I ended up reinstalling Arch with the Linux kernel rather than the LTS, and the straight nvidia driver. So far it appears to be working fine.
