No graphics card used

Issues & Assistance
1

Hello, I have a problem:
No graphics card is used when I installed CachyOS

If someone wants to help me, I don’t know which file to send to help find my problem

2

what do you mean by “no graphic card is used”

3

No graphics card is used, every time I try to launch a program it says OpenGL extensions are missing, glxinfo and glxgear don’t work

4

System specs?

5

Can you show the output of inxi -G

inxi -G:

I am not an Nvidia fan, nor do I have any recent knowledge…but an OLD laptop of mine had one of the 610-Ms (I think I recall) and it’s no longer supported by any current drivers.

The NVIDIA GeForce 610M uses NVIDIA 390 drivers, which I believe are still supported by CachyOS, and there’s always the Intel APU, which is still supported by Mesa drivers.

10

We are dropping it soon.

Anyway, you need the mesa-amber package because mesa only supports Intel Gen3 and higher.

I have the same issue with the mesa-amber package

For your hardware would recommend smth like antix (or another lightweight distro) rather then cachyos, because cachyos was designed for newer hardware it leverages avx2(atleast its in 4th gen intel idk about amd),avx512 and lto etc, yes lto can still work but ngl a lighterweight distro i would recommend it more.
(A cachyos maintainer is free to correct me if am wrong)

Can you regenerate the initramfs sudo mkinitcpio -P, it’s failing to load the necessary kernel module.

Any ideas?
