I keep getting a blank screen when launching my Arch Linux VM in Proxmox with an Nvidia GTX 650 TI card passed through. When installing Arch I can see the installation screen. After installing Arch, OpenSSH and the latest Nvidia drivers(which should support my card according to their website) and rebooting I can SSH into the system and run nvidia-smi which looks like it's working, but there is no output to the display. The Nouveau drivers work fine, but don't have the performance I desire. I tried all 3 outputs, none have any output, but the display does seem to be detected by the Arch VM.
This is my vmid.conf:
I have edited the kernel parameters (+ updated GRUB) on the host:
Blacklisted the nvidia (+ most other) drivers on the host:
Modules are in place on the host:
Tried to use different kernel parameters on the Arch VM:
Edited the Mkinitcpio on the Arch VM:
All to no avail. I feel like I am missing something crucial, but I can't think of anything else at the moment. Maybe someone else has this figured out?
Thank you in advance for your time
