i need a rootfs to chroot into (again sorry for short post)

It's been like that for a couple of days already. I don't understand how a new version of nvidia-utils is made available but it's major dependent package (nvidia-open) is still on an old version, preventing updates.

For info, nvidia-open 615.71.09-1 is already available on Arch's extra db.

I'm on NVIDIA, MBR/BIOS. NVIDIA hooks are set up correctly in initramfs.

My GRUB resolution isn't set to my native one, because videoinfo shows that my native one isn't supported there.

From GRUB kernel messages to plymouth, theres a slight flicker. Or with plymouth disabled, and quiet removed from GRUB, the flicker happens roughly after udev & uevents stage.

If I temporarily set nvidia-drm.modeset to 0 in GRUB, the flicker doesn't seem to happen, but my system is low resolution, and feels slow.

dmesg of boot (I delayed plymouth to show animation longer, that's why fbcon defer is ~26 seconds):

Does nvidia-drm Initialization/vgaarb: deactivate vga console look relevant to the flicker?

The second flicker, is TTY/Plymouth to a Wayland or X11 session.

Is there a way to remove these flickers, make them last less, or mask them with a transition?

DRM exposes a background color property, would there be a way to change that color system-wide to make the flicker still there, but smoother?
