Bug 27676

Having to report this from another machine because Bugzilla is refusing to accept my password.
Dell Alienware X51 running nvidia390, nvidia GTX555, x64.
Packages updated OK.
kernel 5.7.19-desktop-3
Rebooted to Mate desktop.  teapot runs - increased frame-rate by toggling Sync-to-VBLANK in nvidia-settings/GL_settings.  glmark2 OK.  Stellarium launches fine.

Ahh.  Managed to sign in - guess the server was having a bad morning.

Sudden random freezes occurring on that machine.  Mouse pointer disappears.  Don't know what is going on.

Found the problem - the new Logitech GAMING keyboard acquired during lockdown at four times the price of a normal keyboard, a beautifully engineered system freezer for Mageia.  A lesson learned.  With a standard Logitech wireless keyboard the troubles disappeared.  So nvidia390 is OK.

Update went smooth.
glmark2, youtube, vlc run fine without issues.
MGA 7.1, kernel-5.9.11 x86_64, mesa-20.2.3.
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 550Ti, KDE-Plasma.
nvidia390 looks good for this setup.

System is behaving normally.

I looked for a new kernel in updates/testing, nothing yet.  But it works fine with kernel version installed.

That was a cauldron-only issue due to a broken change in the cauldron dkms package
