Proprietary NVIDIA 390xx drivers and GLX on NVIDIA Quadro 2000M

I was initially trying to run a VM, which would fail due to this problem. GLX and X_GLXCreateContext seem to fail. This also happens if i just run the command `glxgears`

```
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  149 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  25
  Current serial number in output stream:  26
```

Some possibly relevant specs that are shown when i run `fastfetch`:
```
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Host: HP EliteBook 8560w (XX058AV) (A0001C02)
Kernel: Linux 6.13.5-arch1-1
WM: Hyprland 0.47.2 (Wayland)
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro 2000M [Discrete]
```

So the nvidia drivers i use are the proprietary `nvidia-390xx` drivers, which i've found have problems with GLX. I don't know if there's any alternative for my hardware.

I've found many who have a similar error as mine, but with different opcodes, and different hardware. I couldn't really find anyone on here with the same as mine other than one that was left unanswered.

Where do i begin with this?

So no way of getting this to work?

Sure, just stop using wayland.
