Goodmorning to everyone,
I am encourting in an issue after having downgraded the nvidia driver version from the main branch to 390.xx (package nvidia-390xx 390.59-3) after my Geforce GT620M 1GB went out main branch support.
The problem is that the system is unable to load the module, seems due to an issue in userspace settings when compiled. I am on archlinux kernel 4.16.11-1 and Xorg package xorg-server 1.20.0-2. In particular I am using bumblebee and bbswitch, yet these are not causing the issue, since it does not load even directly using them.
I am attaching the dmesg and the issue reported by bumblebee in addition to Xorg.8.log
Dmesg:
