Summary: Plasma falls back to "Zink Vulkan 1.3" as graphics
processor when using latest NVIDIA Beta driver
560.28.03
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.3
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
This is regarding my laptop, a 2022 Asus ROG Strix G733CX Optimus graphics
laptop running in discreet GPU Mode on Arch linux running kernel
6.10.2-273-tkg-eevdf (64-bit)
Plasma falls back to "Zink Vulkan 1.3" as graphics processor when using latest
NVIDIA Beta driver 560.28.03 suggesting that it is failing to access the native
NVIDIA OpenGL Renderer. The current "New Feature" branch driver 555.58.02
reports "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2" which is what I would
expect. I know it's a beta driver it could be an NVIDIA bug, but I'm reporting
it here since it could be a change in NVIDIA driver stack that Plasma might
need to react to. Occasionally on the beta driver the Plasma desktop will
become non responsive, usually shortly after log in when it does happen. It is
not a kernel panic as I'm able to get to a virtual terminal and reboot the
system. I'm not experienced in how to give you an appropriate log to diagnose
the issue, but will with guidance.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install nvidia-beta-dkms (or nvidia-open-beta-dkms), nvidia-utils-beta.
lib32-nvidia-utils-beta, nvidia-settings-beta opencl-nvidia-beta and
lib32-opencl-nvidia-beta from the AUR on Arch Linux
2. Reboot
3. Visit the About this System Dialog in Plasma Settings App and not the
graphics processor in use is "zink Vulkan 1.3"
OBSERVED RESULT

EXPECTED RESULT
Visit the About this System Dialog in Plasma Settings App and not the graphics
