bug :nvidia-drivers-555.58 DVI output not working ->black screen

looks like this not an isolated case and seems to affect various cards.
my case:
using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
kernel 6.9.7
using card with curent set up no problem for 5 years
noticed has I have a 2 monitor set-up (same monitors)
one use HDMI the other DVI
booting display correctly dmesg on card DVI output to monitor up to when when nvidia takes over with X/wayland/DE monitor conected via dvi then screen turn black

reverting to 550.90.07 solve the problem
