   Those of use building vanilla kernels have to wait for the drivers   
   to get fixed upstream -- or DIY.  I could patch 580.105.08 to   
   work with Linux 6.19, but there's a lot of changes, and I'm lazy.   
      
   So I'll run 6.18.10 (with my trivial patch to 580.105.08 to make   
   it work with 6.18.* kernels), but could run 6.19 with newer   
   drivers...only, those newer drivers are broken for Xfce's compositor.*   
      
   * I've heard that running the window manager with --vblank=off   
   will solve the problem.  Haven't got a round tuit to test yet.
