@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:
inxi -G

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).
Guys, this is just a word of encouragement and thanks: with this 470xx package, you allow me to keep my ancient GeForce GTX 750 Ti, instead of throwing it away for hardware compatible with the latest drivers. In a way, you're even doing something for the planet!
470.239.06-2 builds/runs properly on 6.9.1-arch1-1 (quick test).
Package nvidia-470xx-dkms 470.239.06-2 build fine with gcc 14.x on stock kernel.
here too all working
@SoftExpert: All ok. lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils and nvidia-470xx-settings with GCC 14.x build properly here. Stock kernel.
