Description:

I've read this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA/Troubleshooting#Overclocking_not_working_with_Unknown_Error
so I thought it might be a problem with gdm which starts Xorg rootless.
installed sddm and plasma to try both gnome and plasma on sddm. and it WORKED IN BOTH (fan, memory overclock, core overclock).
I don't know why this problem appeared now I've always used gdm and it still works on older versions of the driver so maybe it's a packaging trick that used to be done on arch downstream and now it doesn't or a driver change that re-required root-Xorg.

so if it's related to the downstream please fix it, because I prefer gdm over sddm.
This task depends upon
