A new Recommended / Certified Linux driver release from NVIDIA with version 580.119.02 now available. This is separate to the recent Beta driver 590.44.01 that's a whole new series and not ready for everyone just yet.
Here's all that's listed for it:
- Fixed a bug that caused display corruption on LG Ultragear monitors when certain modes were used.
- Fixed a bug that caused corruption in X-Plane on workstation GPUs.
- Fixed a regression introduced in 580.65.06, that caused some mode timings, such as 1920x1080@75, to no longer be available.
- Reverted a change that led to a user regression in 580.119.02 that caused display modes to be invalidated on a number of monitors.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Dots Per Inch (DPI) to be incorrectly reported for some monitors such as the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9.
- Fixed several problems that prevented Vulkan applications from working on Venus VirtIO virtual GPU, on Volta and newer.
- Fixed the following EGL platform bugs that prevented multisample configurations from working:

Probably hasn't fixed 144hz VRR mode on LG OLED HDMI2.1 displays. It corrupts the image pretty bad and can even crash the display. It's not a problem that can be replicated under Windows11 thought I think it WAS a issue at one point with older windows11 drivers.
Thinking these fixes just trickle out to Linux drivers, takes a while.

Quoting: Cley_FayeAh, Log back into X11 and hope next month brings undocumented but welcome improvements :DI have just upgraded to Cachy OS Xfce Edition, through out my system, so have two Cachy OS Xfce Editions running. One for gaming and the other for everyday tasks and video rendering through Davinci Resolve. Updated to this driver yesterday and now have to live without compositing, because Xfce Terminal keeps flashing and panels keep flashing the app icons that are on the panel. They concentrated more on Wayland this time round it seems. I'm not moving to Wayland until every environment has it and proves to run properly without any glitches. I hope NVIDIA get this fixed, as don't want to have to downgrade driver.
