Linux Kernel Version： 5.19.17
Hardware: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

When using the open source driver version: 560.35.03 the following error message is displayed during startup:

Then Xorg failed to start。

What is the reason for the above error message? Or is there a solution?

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Did you found a solution for the issue?

[zhangboin]

Not yet. It appeared by accident when Xorg starting.

I'm having the same issue. Same card and driver, different kernel (6.8.0-60). I'm running the latest MB bios. I'm going to try moving to the 570 driver.

Loading the 570 driver just made things worse. I ended up reinstalling the OS. It has been working solid for about a day now.
