Is there a way to troubleshoot KDE Plasma and Mesa Nouveau?

Thanks for reading.

I use Nividia 7600GS (Old device) and KDE Plasma 5.8.4.

The problem is that sometimes the window manager (Kwin, etc) crashes and stops and then restarts.

Especially when touching panel settings. So I used the stable OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 distribution,

and was advised to remove a separate package called Mesa-dri-nouveau from the release notes when a crash occurred.

Finally, after removing Mesa-dri-nouveau, the collision in KDE disappeared.

It seems that the functionality of the graphics driver conflicts with KDE's window manager or compositor.

Is there any way to work around Arch Linux? Like OpenSUSE.

For example, you can delete or disable a specific package.

Trying to use the Xrender setting for KDE compositor settings or deactivating it did not solve the problem.

Thanks
