We have a bunch of Xeon/NVIDIA Quadro T2000 Lenovo P1 machines on different distros and nouveau was pain on each of them. Proprietary drivers work flawlessly though on FreeBSD included. Best, Jakub

[dev] Background flicker on window close
Hi, I'm experiencing a weird behavior in dwm on NVIDIA with Full Composition Pipeline (no compositor). After opening a *single* terminal window and closing it, I see a split second flicker/slight movement of the background image previously emplaced via feh. That means, terminal window not only disappears, which is expected, but also the background flickers what is extremely annoying. I'm on FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE but that doesn't matter here. Thanks for any suggestion! - jb Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
