(Sorry for my language) For some reason, my gnome shell started to slow down on the last 2 kernels. You can’t select Wayland in GDM. (5.14.0-570.32.1.el9_6.x86_64) I installed drivers from both elrepo and rpm-fusion. If you remove the drivers, wayland starts and gnome shell doesn’t slow down. I …

I copy what @tqhoang mentioned somewhere else. I did find that using the NVIDIA Settings app and setting the PowerMizer from Auto/Normal → Performance mode kind of resolves it. There are 5 power levels/limits (0-4). Probably running in anything higher than 0 would resolve it. May be related?

[image] toracat: May be related? Thank you. I understand what you mean. Doesn’t it automatically start up by itself? I have a NVIDIA QUADRO P2000 card there. I’ll try, but it worked by itself on older kernels. I wonder why I can’t enable wayland on driver 570? Judging by the gdm settings,…

[image] sergmx: I wonder why I can’t enable wayland on driver 570? Judging by the gdm settings, it should be enabled on a driver higher than 510. That gdm script file with conditions that each may disable Wayland? (E.g. “driver 510 or older”) Some of the conditions use power-related NVidia u…

@sergmx - I am in the process of upgrading the ELRepo NVIDIA driver to the latest production 580.76.05. I’m working to make Wayland work out of the box too.

[image] toracat: There are 5 power levels/limits (0-4). I have it 0-2 (Quadro P2000) and yes it works! Thanks.

[image] tqhoang: I’m working to make Wayland work out of the box too. Thank you very much.

[image] toracat: May be related? Sorry, I was in a hurry, now I worked longer and the slowdowns appeared again. Although I have the maximum GPU frequency enabled. I don’t remember this on older kernels. Although maybe I had wayland enabled there. Older than: 5.14.0-570.32.1.el9_6.x86_64, 5.…

[image] sergmx: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules Indeed. It has about 12 points, where it uses GOTO="gdm_disable_wayland" At most two of them are due to the version of the driver. At least five of the conditions (that can lead to gdm_disable_wayland) do require certain files/services. RP…

[image] jlehtone: RPM Fusion xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-power and NVidia’s nvidia-driver packages do provide those files/services. Sorry, but the driver installation instructions say that you just need to do: akmod-nvidia. And it doesn’t handle any xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-power. I didn’t know that you…
