Screen corruption in Ubuntu 22.04 via Nvidia 510 driver

 I decided to test run Ubuntu 22.04 early, and I found a bug.

This is just my attempt to let the world know about it.


I installed Ubuntu 22.04 without issue a few days ago. Then I installed the Nvidia 510 driver through the "additional drivers" app in the "show applications" menu system (bottom left on the Ubuntu desktop).


As soon as I did that, I was bombarded with screen glitches. Videos I watched and video games had a very jagged, jarring scrolling affect. Also sections of the GUI would just disappear for a few seconds before being re-drawn.


I decided to switch from the Nvidia 510 driver to the 470 driver, and that has resolved all the issues I had, so far.


I did post this to launchpad after a search for duplicate bugs, it's posted here:

This is just a screenshot of what I was referencing in regards to the driver switch.
