I mean that officially Sid yet have support 340.108 but bullseye not. And i am interesting what chance that Qt 5.15.4 - 5.15.8 and 340.108 driver will fix in future?
if the fixes can be done in Qt libraries, you have a chance. If the fixes must be in the 340 nvidia drivers, there is zero chance. Also, its still possible that the 340 drivers won't be supported in the future either, as nvidia dropped support for them long ago.

Thanks. And is there way to determinate that issue at Qt or at driver?

at the moment its moot because there is not 340 drivers available on anything that runs the later Qt versions. maybe when we get further along in mx23 development we will know, but right now everything we have has either 340 drivers OR the later Qt, but not both.

I suppose you could ask somewhere the Qt developers, but I doubt they will care much to try to fix something on abandoned graphics drivers. Ditto for nvidia, they've already abandoned the driver.

So that is most likely the problem is in Qt and only Qt devs can fix it? And they is most likely don't care about that?

Like I said either Qt or nvidia. And I don’t think either will.

But I’ve been wrong before. It’s possible some patch will also fix the nvidia issue.

May be who make patches for new kernels can make patch for this Qt issue?
Do you know where is i can found teams or community devs that make such patches?
Where is MX devs take patches for 340.108 driver?

I know Arch AUR team make patches for this driver
https://github.com/archlinux-jerry/nvidia-340xx

and Debian Sid devs still make such patches
