etc I appreciate all the responses. Without replying individually: sounds like the approriate thing is to move to the nvidia-580xx-dkms from AUR. I'll give that a try after I work up the time and courage. One thing I forgot to mention is: I'm using this card with three monitors (one portrait mode with one landscape on each side) and I use nvidia-settings to create a large virtual monitor within nvidia control. I wonder if this will continue to work? (I've used e.g. xrandr on other systems so can likely go back to that if needed). Another is that I haven't done a system update in a little while (not too long but ...). I wonder if I should do the change to the driver before doing the system update or vice versa. Thanks again, -mm-
