4080S blackouts, crashes and freezes

Yeah, I’ve located the offending settings. I may have enabled these by myself some while ago; not sure if they default to on or not. Either way I feel very stupid for spending such a long time figuring something as basic as that out, especially as I may have caused all this by enabling the offending setting in the first place.

  • Nvidia X Server Settings
    • X Screen 0
      • OpenGL Settings:
        • Allow Flipping

If this setting is enabled, I experience the behaviour I’ve experienced when either “Allow G-SYNC/G-SYNC Compatible” is enabled (blackouts and video output crash), or when “Force Composition Pipeline” is enabled (system freeze when a Wine game’s fullscreen window is key.

I guess it’s up to Nvidia, PopOS, or X Server developers to decide if this is a bug.
