[Solved] Error when trying to execute picom

Hello, I have a rtx 2060 with the last privative nvidia drivers. When I start my pc picom doesn´t work. I try to start it in the terminal and it says:
"vsync_init ERROR ] No supported vsync method found for this backend
session_init FATAL ERROR ] Failed to initialize the backend".
It's strange because when I shutdown qtile and I log in again, it works, at least the opacity of the terminal and other programs work.

Can happen if you autostart and xorg comes up before the graphics are actually ready, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Early_loading
