Happy new year to you too. I would try a beta driver in your situation:
for this it should be possible to install freecad in a virtual machine or on another pc (without nvidia). this could be used to create the desired settings (files) and copy them to the nvidia pc.
The simple way is to execute from a terminal:
Code: Select all
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
Code: Select all
<FCParamGroup Name="OpenGL">
<FCBool Name="UseSoftwareOpenGL" Value="1"/>
</FCParamGroup>
Jolly British of you
Code: Select all

Yes, of course. I didn't follow all of the nvidia posts and I don't own one to reproduce. Can you make a proposal what to include in the known issues, please?
