Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that linux-headers should not be a dependency of any DKMS package.

As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when linux is not an installed kernel?

Thank you @jonathon.
I thought this bug is only related to this poorly supported nvidia-390xx driver in conjunction with newest xorg-server, like previous ABI bug (there is no problem with nouveau), but it looks like a general xserver issue. Thanks again.

jonathon commented on 2021-12-20 23:59 (UTC)

Yes: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73075 . Fix is imminent.

Also, an issue with Xorg isn't an issue with this package. Please use the forum for this sort of thing.

After upgrading xorg-server to v21.1.2 I can't resume my laptop from suspend.
On nouveau everything works fine.
Downgrading server to 21.1.1 resolves the problem so issue is related to nvidia-390xx driver and newest xorg-server.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem?

@jonathon 30-nvidia-ignoreabi.conf is not needed with 390.147

Thanks a lot @Scarlet and @Juggrnaut

I was have the error message:

primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check.

The solution for me was edit the file /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia like the recommendation of @Juggrnaut and add in the Section "Device" zone, the follow lines:

Section "Device"
    ...
    BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
    Option "AllowExternalGpus" "true"  # If the GPU is external
    ...
EndSection

+info

And at the end of the file, add the follow section like the recommendation of @Scarlet:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "IgnoreABI" "1"
EndSection

Or, just update your copy of nvidia-390xx-utils as it includes an override file.

For all those with that Xorg ABI error and having no /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Search for a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-server_flags.conf. If it does not exist yet, create it. Amend the file and paste the well-known contents there:

Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "IgnoreABI" "1"
EndSection

Let's see if Nvidia indeed fixes that. According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2003589#p2003589, Nvidia stated it is supported and receives compat fixes until the end of 2022.

After adding in "IgnoreABI" to "/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia" I now receive the following error and it doesn't load:

(WW) NVIDIA: The driver will continue to load, but may behave strangely.

(WW) NVIDIA: This driver was compiled against the X.Org server SDK from commit 4c00369024c9754e670fca37804711fef2980e2f and may not be compatible with the final version of this SDK.

UPDATE <SOLVED> I've figured out my issue and posting it in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

Prior to the recent updates, I never needed to modify the "/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia" file and it worked just fine OOTB. Now after the recent updates, I had to modify that file to now also include the BusID of the nvidia card. Details found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bumblebee#Multiple_NVIDIA_Graphics_Cards_or_NVIDIA_Optimus

So after adding in the BusID (along with the "IgnoreABI" setting), it is working again.

Do you guys have a solution to avoid the XID errors which freeze desktop ?
