@dbermond Well hot damn! I thought I was going to have to wait for Nvidia to fix this, but apparently not! Thanks for the quick fix! Can confirm everything works fine on 6.7.3 now.

@urbenlegend Should be fixed by now. Thanks for reporting.

DKMS compile seems to be unsuccessful with 6.7.3

Strange how this happened on a point release as this was working perfectly fine with 6.7.2. Downgrading works fine for now. Is this something that Nvidia just needs to patch with a new beta driver?

EDIT: Yes it is. https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/linux-6-7-3-545-29-06-550-40-07-error-modpost-gpl-incompatible-module-nvidia-ko-uses-gpl-only-symbol-rcu-read-lock/280908/22

It would be great if -beta packages update quicker. It's probably less of a concern for non-beta packages but not having -beta updated defies the purpose of having -beta in the first place. Instead of testing -beta and reporting bugs, all the bugs will go into release.

Works good on my system @dbermond and @milkii your comments helped me so thanks for that

I'm sorry but I don't get the purpose of this package. Why not offer the Vulkan beta driver instead?

@milkii You need to install all related packages at the same time.

:: installing nvidia-utils-beta (525.78.01-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils-beta=525.60.11' required by nvidia-beta-dkms

edit: ah i see they've all gone up to .78, i'll go back to the regular package. hopefully the horiffic external monitor bug(s) are fixed now..

525.53 causes me (I presume) some big issues with cursor state: the cursor is either not visible at all (which happens especially under GNOME 43.1 after some time) or the image is stuck in one state (arrow [the usual state] or hand [to drag something] or I [text selector]) across all apps. It is always in arrow state when I move the cursor over the Waybar panel, but it changes to the previous stacked state when moved over a (Wayland) window. The cursor state works in alacritty, portmaster-bin, slack-electron, electron-mail, telegram-deskop. It does not work in mailspring, firefox-nightly (heftig repo), sublime-text, Discord (flatpak: com.discordapp.Discord), todoist-appimage.

As for the glitches, 525.53 solves most of my glitches exept for one: electro-mail which is an Electron app, however, I have run it under XWayland before upgrading to 525.53, and after I upgraded to 525.53 I run it with --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations (thus in Wayland). That said, even glitches in electron-mail are mostly removed, however, when I launch electron-mail, I get mostly grey (only the divider between the message list and the reading pane is visible) until I move the cursor of the 3-4 grey areas.

Also, I have issues with screen-sharing (in Firefox using WebRTC + xdg-desktop-portal and both xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr), even under GNOME 43.1. Note that I use sway-git as my default WM.
