Xfce Glitches on Proprietary NVIDIA Drivers

Very recently I have run a dnf upgrade (on F42), updating my xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.x86_64 packages.

Immediately after rebooting, all of my menus were glitching, most primarily when moving my cursor. My Panel items, shadows and appbars are going invisible-visible insanely fast.

It’s most prevalent when running xpenguins, attached here: Watch Xfce glitches | Streamable (Sorry for the 3rd party link, I have no idea how else to attach this.)

Notice that I recorded this from phone and not OBS. For some reason, this glitching issue completely stops once I hit record with OBS (but not when it’s idle).

This also only occurs on Xfce. GNOME Xorg session works really fine.

Things I’ve tried:

  • Switching to Intel iGPU: All worked perfectly
  • Switching to Nouveau: Xfce freezes (I prefer proprietary anyways)
  • Re-installing the Nvidia drivers from nvidia.com - both MIT/GPL and proprietary - The same result

Any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

To solve this problem I used the driver that comes with Cuda Toolkit 13.0 Update 2
