There are other options you can add besides nomodeset

  • nouveau.modeset=0  (this is a zero) or 1 (false = 0 and true = 1)
  • i915.modeset=0 or 1
  • radeon.modeset=0 or 1
  • modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia

There are many other paramaters to try out if you are still stuck.

Type in ‘dmesg‘ and ‘journalctl‘ in the terminal.

Try to analyze what is going wrong.

This list has been obtained from Gentoo wiki. I did not test if they work on Arch Linux or ArcoLinux.
You are welcome to try. May it solve your issue.
