I've built Metacity 3.42 for Ubuntu 21.10 with Xpresent support, which
is behind a gsettings option that defaults to xrender. When Metacity is
set as the required window manager in MATE with Xpresent set as the
compositor the same failure to bring up a desktop session is
encountered.
I have also built Marco without Xpresent and as expected it fallsback to
Xrender which works with the new NVIDIA drivers and also preserves
compositor support.
** Summary changed:
- Nvidia 510 drivers result in failure to start GUI on GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
+ MATE Desktop session fails to start with NVIDIA 495 & 510 drivers

Bug description:
I have been using nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 for a while. In January,
I tried the 495 drivers, but this resulted in failing to start the GUI
when booting: the mouse cursor would appear, but then the screen would
clear and the switch to graphics would be attempted again. This would
repeat until restarted, so I used recovery mode to test that a) it
still happened with that (yes) and b) to go back to the 470 drivers
via the root terminal.
For some reason, yesterday xscreensaver had a problem getting the
right GLcontext. I noticed that the 510 drivers were available, so
used Software & Updates's Additional Drivers to install those.
Exactly the same issue as with the 495 drivers: the mouse cursor
appears for a second, then disappears, and reappears, and.. until I
reboot and go back to 470.
I am using Ubuntu MATE 21.10 with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti card.
