Test Writeup

Issue

Using the latest 470.xx drivers, 2 out of 3 of my monitors exhibit a strange backlight behaviour where the backlight level seems to wave, essentially causing sort of a light flickering that becomes bothersome within a minute.

Hardware configuration

Non-pop hardware
i7 8700k
nVidia RTX3060Ti
Pop 21.04 beta
nVidia 470.42
3 screens, two of which Adaptive sync enabled (One true GSync, one Forced GSync)
- The third screen not being GSync and not exhibiting this behaviour, it's possible the issue is related to adaptive sync.

Software configuration

Behaviour tested on

SDDM + KDE/KF5 + KWin, without and with modesetting (boot option)
GDM3 + Gnome Shell, without modesetting (boot option, or specifically lack thereof)

Kernels tested

xanmod1-calcule 5.12.10
baseline Pop_OS 5.11.0-7614

Revert result

Reverting to 465.xx series restores normal behaviour - absence of light flicker.

Miscelaneous details

All the monitors showing the issue are connected over DisplayPort; the non-issue monitor is over HDMI
The monitors with issue are set to a >1080p resolution

pop 21.04 beta, 2070 super

With 470 beta, GPU intensive processes lock up my system. Ran "7 days to die native Linux client" and had to force reboot. Ran SteamVR and launching a game causes the same lock up. Couldn't even get to the tty5. Revert to 465 and everything runs well again. Possibly something from my failed attempt at installing the .run file from nvidia before getting it from the PPA.

While reverting the uninstall script didn't work for me so I manually removed the apt source and purged nvidia470.

Echoing @SlickMcRunFast, reverting to 470 was painful in my case because of a systemd hibernate script. removing nvidia-driver-470 manually, then downgrading the nVidia packages to 465, worked properly.

470.57.02 has been released as stable. We'll probably need to update this to reflect that or close this and then make a new one. (Not sure which is easier.)

leviport commented 2 years ago

I've opened a PR for the new version here: https://github.com/pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers/pull/114

I'm going to keep this one open for now, in case there are a lot of users with this version installed.

bflanagin commented 2 years ago

Closing this PR for the newer version. For those that helped us test things be sure to run these commands to remove it from your system if you haven't done so already.

git clone https://github.com/pop-os/pop.git
cd pop
./scripts/apt remove 470.42
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
