Good morning,
Quick update: in a moment of despair, I tried what felt like the last
resort, which was installing the latest driver, from the Nvidia website.
(I know, I know)
Long story short, I stopped the X server, unloaded Nouveau, and ran the
installation wizard ; it almost ran without issues (a weird little issue
with DKMS, which I did not set up in the end), and finally ended up with
the 530.30.02 installed.
After having rebooted, the machine does not exhibit the same black
screen flickering (depending on what's being drawn on screen e.g. tilix
is set to fullscreen). I cannot be sure after such a short test, but it
would seem that the latest version (530.30.02) of the Nvidia driver
makes this issue disappear., at least on kernel version 6.1.0.5.
Speaking of which, just to keep track of things, when updating to
525.89.02-1, I was on kernel 6.1.0.3 (package version: 6.1.8-1) and
updating at the same time to kernel version 6.1.0-5 (package version:
6.1.12-1).
Cheers,
JB
