### NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version 515.76 ### Does this happen with th…e proprietary driver (of the same version) as well? Yes ### Operating System and Version Description: Arch Linux ### Kernel Release Linux eren 5.19.10-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue, 20 Sep 2022 15:17:59 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux ### Hardware: GPU GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (UUID: GPU-e54c64bb-4893-74a7-ab52-e7131045d25a) GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (UUID: GPU-5f6a0370-1efa-8e2c-1ca0-4a8f0e558957) ### Describe the bug Black X11 Screen and partial lockup when upgraded to 515.76 and dual RTX3060 After upgrading to 515.76 on my system (Amd CPU, Asus Moterboard, 2 X RTX3060, see the nvidia-bug-report.log.gz for detailed configuration) I get a blank screen when I run startx. I can login remotely, I can take a nvidia-bug-report (although it takes a lot to finish) but reboot hangs (with the last message “kernel: nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:0: Idling display engine timed out: 0x0000c67d:0:0:1119”) so I suspect a problem at kernel level. Things I tried: * Downgrading to 515.65.01 it DOES solve the problem. * Disable Amd pstate driver, it does NOT solve the problem. * Disable iommu/PCI denylisting for a normal 2xGPU configuration, it does NOT solve the problem. * Downgrade to linux LTS 5.15.70, it does NOT solve the problem. Let me know if you need more information, Thanks! ### To Reproduce Just run startx (or directly xinit) ### Bug Incidence Always ### nvidia-bug-report.log.gz [nvidia-bug-report.log.gz](https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/files/9652067/nvidia-bug-report.log.gz) ### More Info * package version: nvidia-open-dkms-515.76-1 * config and/or log files: see attached file * link to proprietary driver bug report: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/bug-report-black-x11-screen-and-partial-lockup-when-upgraded-to-515-76-and-dual-rtx3060/228912 * the problem has been confirmed by many users both on Arch bug tracker and on NVidia forum, it looks like it affects RTX 30x0 users.
