I have this nvidia geforce gt940m gpu in my hp pavillion laptop.Apart from official arch documentation (its jargon for me), how do i install its drivers for arch linux to use for cuda and deeplearning.
I need some more data. Please post the screen shot of lspci -v output for your nvidia gpu.

Put this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Install nvidia nvidia-settings bumblebee
systemctl enable --now bumblebeeNow try
optirun glxgearssystemctl enable --now bumblebee
Failed to enable unit: Unit file bumblebee.service does not exist.
seems a typo, its bumblebeed
I faced this ,
exec glxgears not found ,
sudo pacman -S mesa-demos
,fixed it
