Kernel 5.15 and Nvidia - causing black screen

I’ve been happy on the 5.15 kernel with an RTX-2060 for a couple months now. But I couldn’t load X server either after tonight’s major patch fest. This time, before going down the exhausting path of trying to t-shoot possible root causes, I just flipped back to the 5.10.96-1 kernel and everything was fine. I’m happy to furnish logs if anyone would like them, but I think I’m just gonna sit on 5.10 for a while, then maybe try moving forward later. Thanks!

Nvidia drivers and kernel compatibility is sometimes overrated.

Good habit with the fallback kernel - very commendable.
