  • I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.
Operating System and Version

Debian 13

Research direction

Start by reviewing the NVIDIA open kernel driver version 580.82.07, Debian 13 kernel 6.12.41, and the attached nvidia-bug-report.log.gz in the KDE Plasma 6.3.6 Wayland multi-monitor setup. Reproduce by connecting a second HDMI monitor to the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU and compare the frozen widgets and panels with other monitor configurations; done means the session remains usable.
