Hello,
I have tried pretty much every Linux distro under the sun to get this combination going, with no success. My final attempt settled on Arch Linux, because at least there I could fall back to console mode easier to try and debug what was going on.
- MSI Ventus 2X RTX 5060 Ti
- ASUS X670E-I ITX motherboard
- Ryzen 7800X3D CPU
- Distribution: Latest Arch Linux (august 2026)
- Kernel: 7.1.11-zen1-1-zen (I have tried both Zen and standard kernels)
- Driver version: 610.57.04
- Graphics: Wayland, not Xorg
- AMDGPU (Raphael) disabled in BIOS and blacklisted
- CSM disabled in BIOS
The problem seems to be whenever I use the actual nvidia-open drivers, I have a short window before it locks up. On other Linux distros, it is not even be possible to install if they use the NVIDIA drivers (e.g. Bazzite and others), the symptoms there range from simply being black (even if nvidia_drm.modeset=1 is set - which I do set manually on this system), to also locking up after a while.
The machine itself is perfectly fine, I can still SSH into it, the display has just locked up. It is also incredibly laggy, cursor especiaclly. If the NVIDIA driver is not used, then it operates in 1024x768 mode, but has no issues, does not lock up, no lag.
The log message when it starts going wrong looks like this (from journalctl -b):
Aug 29 15:12:24 apollo kwin_wayland[863]: Pageflip timed out! This is a bug in the nvidia-drm kernel driver
Please report this at Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums
So here are the requested logs as well as the output of nvidia-bug-report.sh
dmesg-after-lockup.txt (110.8 KB)
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (808.7 KB)
journalctl-after-lockup.txt (233.5 KB)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
