Updates to 22.2 RCs cause artifacts on nouveau and blank screen on VirtIO
This bug has been reported in Debian and affects Nvidia cards that are using Nouveau. I ask for some help from upstream to solve this regression. The link is listed below and thanks! I was affected by the problem too and my card is NVidia GT310.

Source: mesa Version: 22.2.0~rc1-1
After updating to mesa 22.2.0~rc1-1 on my 2008 Dell Precision laptop with a Quadro FX 1700M GPU, I began experiencing artifacts as soon as lightdm started, and they still remained after launching Xfce. I also updated my Debian virtual machine in UTM on macOS, which uses VirtIO graphics, and LightDM is just completely black there except for a cursor.
After updating to 22.2.0~rc2-1, the nouveau laptop's artifacts were limited to only foreground objects, such as the login box of lightdm or the menu and panel of Xfce. The virtual machine stayed the same.
