CRC error on install, installation filed!

@gbr: thanks for the heads-up; the Current graphics driver releases page is not yet updated. I'm currently building the new version to see if the patches still apply ...

edit:

This new version still requires the previous patches. It seems that it comes with a single fix: Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when graphics applications requested single-buffered drawables while certain features (such as Vulkan sharpening) are enabled.

@marco.righi I'm not 100% sure, but I feel that your configuration mixes non-nvidia settings with nvidia-specific settings and, as a result, you might get interference between two different kinds of modules, fighting over the same ressources.

Clearly, the best answer you would get comes from meticulous experimentation (changing a single option at a time and testing the result); one of the reasosns is that the hardware configuration you have is specific to your system and what is good for one set of hardware components might not be optimal for another.

Nvidia drivers are kind of picky - it matters if you mix Mesa modules with them (the consensus would be don't).

Maybe someone has an identical harware configuration and could provide a more precise answer.

P.S. My config:

@Maniaxx sorry for the following question.

Which is the solution that guarantee the best performance? My solution or GSK_RENDERER=gl referred by your link?

The referred solution GSK_RENDERER=gl seems not working in every case...

Thanks in advance

Hi, I found a bug with this driver. I tested the drive using Manjaro, EndevurOS and Xfce4. The video card is:

Using this configuration, some labels of a few applications do not appear. For example, the labels on the keys of the gnome-calculator are not visible.

I find these solutions:

1) the use of Nouveau drivers

2) this Xorg config

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Nvidia Card"
    Driver "nvidia"

    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
    Option "DRI" "true"  
    Option "ShadowFB" "true" 
    Option "BackingStore" "true" 
    Option "RenderAccel" "true" 
    Option "SWCursor" "false" 
    #Option "TripleBuffer" "false" 
    Option "TripleBuffer" "true" 
    Option "EXAVSync" "true" 
    Option "MigrationHeuristic" "smart" 
    Option "TearFree" "true" 
    Option "NoFlip" "false" 
    Option "Accel" "false" 
EndSection

By switching Accel to true the problem appears.

Did you update first this package, before updating your system?

You should have this version installed: nvidia-470xx-dkms 470.239.06-2. The "broken" version is: 470.239.06-1.

Otherwise, please provide the full build log, troughs a pastebin like service

Seems like the latest version is broken on my end. Getting bunch of wait_on_bit_lock() conftest failed!, implicit declaration of function 'phys_to_dma' and such in header files like conftest/function.h, inc/nv-linux.h header files when installing. It was fine before updating (though, last update prior was a few months ago, so no idea which version may have summoned that).
