Wayland.. Sooo close, but not yet

With the release of the NVIDIA 560.x drivers, with all the fixes in it for Wayland display server, I was excited to give it a try.   Firstly, when it works, it is amazing, everything looks so sharp/crisp and no screen tearing at all.  But I have 1 issue, and I have not found a problem.  I noticed this issue in 555.x drivers.   I get whole screen flicker, on both displays. 

The Woes of Wayland or Back to X11 for me

This seems to happen to me every time I try to switch to Wayland as my window manager on Linux.  I switch, and everything seems to be working find with a few minor issues that I can work out with alternative apps, or system tweaks.  I start to get really comfortable with the whole ide, mainly because Wayland when it is working, is super fast a buttery smooth.
