I have some severe issues with my machine and finding a fix feels like out of my depth.
The symptoms are slightly different depending on which kernel I run.
Kernel 6.1:
If I update past…
lib32-nvidia-utils 530.41.03-1
linux61 6.1.29-1
linux61-nvidia 530.41.03-10
mhwd-nvidia 530.41.03-4
…both my monitors repeatedly starts turning off (for a second) and on (and I see the desktop again for a second).
With the above versions the machine is rock solid.
Kernel 6.6:
After updating all packages and changing kernel to 6.6 it all works, until I turn off my secondary monitor. When I turn it back on it behaves just as before but it only affects the secondary monitor.
I’m not sure how to go about finding a fix for this, and at this point I’m just hoping one of you guys have an idea what to look at.
I have tried different distributions that comes with newer nvidia drivers and they all behave identically as does newer install media for Manjaro.
