I tried using the nvidia package repository, but in any case he did not find the driver.

The driver or the device/screen?

Bump
I have the same problem on my new Asus K55VM. It has the same VGA list. This is NOT a optimus machine therefore Bumblebee will not work! I tried clean install of ARCH with the following combinations:
With UEFI
Without bumblebee and Intel drivers:
1. Nvidia 304.51-2
2. Nouveau
Without bumblebee and WITH Intel drivers:
1. Nvidia 304.51-2
2. Nouveau
With Bumblebee and with intel drivers:
1. Nvidia 304.51-2
2. Nouveau
Without bumblebee and Intel drivers:
1. Nvidia 304.51-2
2. Nouveau
Without bumblebee and WITH Intel drivers:
1. Nvidia 304.51-2
2. Nouveau
With Bumblebee and with intel drivers:
1. Nvidia 304.51-2
2. Nouveau
It took me 3 days and lots of re-install efforts to try all possible combinations. In every instance the error message from Xorg.log was «no devices found». I even tried manually adding the devices into the «Xorg.conf.d» but it did not work (the devices are not detected by the modules/drivers). I had to give up on Arch (painful) completely after I started getting flack from my team for delaying installation for long. I am currently using Kubuntu 12.04 (working with the Intel. Does not recognize the Nvidia driver yet and i am nervous to turn on the driver. Ubuntu too has similar problems and is using a new custom script to get around this problem). But following Arch news closely to see if someone posts stable solution.
Recently I found this from the ArchWiki on hypbrid graphics: «asus-switchroo» as the most close solution . Check the wiki for more solutions. These are really new solutions which I cannot test on my live laptop myself till there is a significant vacation time and I can nuke kubuntu again. If someone tests this please post the results. I can’t wait to install Arch again.
I am sorry for not posting the links to the sites I found as I am new to the forum and do not know the rules yet. I will follow up with info if anyone is interested. I can even post the configs on the kubuntu system if it helps. I just wanted to point out that a standard method of approach to this problem has not worked so far for me. Need help from someone more skilled.
A final note. I tried downgrading the driver but stopped. the GT630M is a kepler card and is not supported in the older nvidia drivers (devil and deep blue sea). One cannot go below 304 versions.

Vulkan with flipping enabled on Quadro cards can lead to graphic corruption.
If you think you have run into it you can do either of the following as a workaround:
— Disable flipping in nvidia-settings (uncheck «Allow Flipping» in the «OpenGL Settings» panel)
— Disable UBB (run ‘nvidia-xconfig —no-ubb’)
— Use a composited desktop
Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution’s native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution’s framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA’s official package.
Also note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver.
Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.151.run
One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig
Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system’s manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

nvidia GT630M install on linux mint 14
Post by kz205 » Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:33 pm
I have problems installing this nvidia gt630m driver on my new laptop running mint 14.
I first tried installing nvidia-current and nvidia-settings from software manager but that simply reduced my resolution to 640×480 max. I had to do a clean install after that as I had no other idea.
Then I came across bumblebee project for optimus graphics cards and followed instructions on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee#Installation
to install. The install seemed to go smoothly.
But after that lspci -v | less says
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630M] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
. Unknown header type 7f
so it seems to me that something has gone wrong with the bumblebee installation. Any suggestions to solve this issue?

the gt630m is indeed an optimus enabled nvidia card and so far bumblebee is the only option for those cards; it’s possible that the installation went wrong, can you give us the output of

bumblebee was installed successfully: you have cards recognized and are using intel; when and if you need the nvidia card you use
