Thank you, cwizardone, I've been testing the new-ish 6.0.9 kernel on an old Core 2 Duo Extreme SuperMicro with a cheap (was 32 bux! new!!) , old GT 640 GPU box and once I got a properly working kernel built I couldn't get either a 390 nor a 470 driver to build. Today, thanks to your post, I'm happy to report the 470.161.03 is working great!
Thanks for that garpu. Just upgraded this morning to 525.60.11 after reading. Builds fine with kernel-6.0.11. My desktop icon for nvidia-settings had vanished though so created a new one and it works fine.

Tried to upgrade from nvidia-driver-525.60.11-x86_64-1_SBo and nvidia-kernel-520.56.06_5.19.17-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz to nvidia-kernel-525.60.11_5.19.17-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz, xorg won't start anymore:

$ startx
xauth: file /home/perrin4869/.serverautuh.2870 does not exist
waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .

any clues what might be broken?
I also have:

Thanks Daedra!
Have an Optimus and was getting a bit tired of starting an application with __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
Just tried it out the link you provided and it appears to work after a reboot.
kernel 6.0.8
nvidia version 520.56.06

Good to hear. Easiest way to confirm it is working is open nvidia-settings. If you have full configuration options available then it is working. Also under "X Server Display Configuration" it will tell you if PRIME Synchronization is working. And you can also check it with "glxinfo | grep -i opengl"
Yes, confirmed.
I boot into level 3 and all I did after the reboot was 'startx'
This lappy is quite old now and looks like it still has many years left of service.
bash-5.2$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl
