Hi,
Since upgrading to Nvidia 555 drivers on KDE,
Whenever I run xrandr or kscreen-doctor to switch between screen configurations, plasmashell and Kwin will crash citing a graphics reset with the message:
“Kwin Window Manager: Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset”
Below is my monitor configuration, when switching the office screens off and my TV in the living room on, the crash will occur. The same will happen when switching screens back to my office.
GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 OC:
Example command which causes a crash every time:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --refresh 60 --scale 1x1 --output DP-2 --off --output DP-0 --off --output DP-5 --off --output HDMI-1 --off
It also crashes when using kscreen-doctor to switch.
Wayland doesn’t appear to be affected, switching screens works no problem. However I’m not able to migrate to Wayland due to other significant issues there currently.
OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: Linux 6.10.3-arch1-2
KDE Version: KDE Plasma 6.1.4
Nvidia Driver: 555.58.02
This has been happening since the introduction of 555 drivers as far as I remember.
If I roll the drivers back to 550 or 535 using the package nvidia-535xx-dkms in the AUR the problem goes away.
Below is a journal extract made starting just before I invoked the crash, this was taken about a week ago, I can produce a new one if needs be but the crashing is still occurring the same as it did:
Nvidia bug report as required:

Let me know if there is anything else I can supply.
Many thanks for your time in reading this.
