When the first beta 550 came out I was testing the driver and the laptop sometimes froze randomly. I didn’t know what was causing it until I went back to the 545 drivers and it was fixed. I thought it would be a problem because they were beta but no. It also happens to me with the stable version. W…

We have fixed a memory corruption issue specific to notebooks recently and request you to please test with driver 550.107.02 and share test results. https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/550.107.02/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.107.02.run

i am on a legion too the 15ach6h(r5 3600 and rtx3060), and i’ve reinstalled endeavourOS a third time, now with nvidia-open on mainline kernel, and its been working quite well, except with external displays, kwin crash a bit easier(not all the time, just tried now did not crash tho) and at waking fro…

3070M, three days ago installed 550 nvidia-open-dkms via nvidia-all instead of the last 535, g-sync works, no crashes (as I wrote at the beginning of the thread), sleep fixed, but games via Wayland under KDE are not too playable either (waiting for KDE 6.1)

Interesting… are you sure g-sync is working as expected? https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/550.78/README/kernel_open.html The following features are not yet supported by the open kernel modules: G-Sync on notebooks I’ve switched over to nvidia-open recently and will try out the …

I am using an external monitor AOC Q27G2S/EU, I haven’t tried with the built-in monitor (Redmi G Pro i9-12900H laptop). Nothing worth trying to install nvidia-open and roll back to the proprietary driver if you are not satisfied with it (if there are any problems, it can be done via tty with nvidia-…

I have to say that I got freezes again, but they become rare. Zero freezes was on 535.171.04 and kernel 6.8.7

I updated my laptop to nvidia 555.42.02 and … [crash_nvidia_555] I use the kernel 6.9.1.arch1-1 I have a GTX 1060 then I can’t use the open source driver.

535.171.04, kernel 6.8.7 + Xorg is most stable combination so far.

I’ve been using nvidia-open so far now (one kernel only) and I haven’t had a crash while powering off or logging out my computer. However, I have had crashes (2 so far) when I press the “sleep” button in kde. My laptop screen goes black, however the light on my powerbutton stays on and afterwards I …

Just had that crash happen again but I was able to use magic sysrq keys (REISUB) so its not a kernel panic like i used to experience in the non “nvidia-open” drivers. What happened is I left my computer and it went to sleep normally, then I turned it on and put it back to sleep manually and I got t…
