One thing to note though, you WILL need linux-headers (pacman) installed. dkms package does not automatically pull it in, probably due to being listed as optdepends for different kernel flavours vanilla, lts, zen, hardened. Nevertheless dkms won't work and won't actually trigger the build without the any linux-headers package installed. However as soon as you install linux-headers it will also trigger nvidia build too. -- Cheers, --lucian
