Bug 286034: x11/nvidia-driver problems
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286034



--- Description ---
Using FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE, upgrading to nvidia-driver-570.124.04.1401000
brought some issues. 

First, I am using xfce4. Since the upgrade of nvidia-driver to the version
mentioned above, xfwm4 keeps consuming memory and not releasing it until at
some point it uses around 40GB of RES memory out of my 64. This issue seems to
be known with nvidia, see
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/extreme-growing-memory-usage-in-x11-openg
l-or-vulkan-applications-after-suspend-resume/329078
- also for reference the issue of xfce:
https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/issues/825

Also, at some point my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 stops working - the desktop
freezes. It occurs rarely, like once a week and leaves the following in the
dmesg:
